as the stakes are somewhat lower than on land (depending on the size of the cliff) psicobloc is quickly gaining momentum in brazil and worldwide, both among novices who want to practice free climbing and more advanced climbers who want to try new techniques, or simply enjoy the variety.

psicobloc, or deep-water soloing, has been quoted in the climbing world as the 'purest form of free climbing' - it is a unique method of scaling rock faces while hanging over coast lines at high tide - the beauty of psicobloc lies in the freedom and safety of the surroundings - without constantly worrying about ropes, leads or helmets, individuals can climb with ease and flexibility.
