Among Mallorca’s fragrant almond groves, famed nightclubs and speedo-sporting Eurotourists, limestone cliffs rise straight from the sea like sentinels, their steep pockets beckoning to climbers the world over.

 

A fall means splashing into 80° water, drying off and trying again – from the bottom.
Some call it traditional climbing in its purest form. Others call it a hell of a way to spend a few weeks.

 

Last season, a small group of climbers traveled to those sea cliffs to learn the intricacies of deep water soloing and to try, unrehearsed, some of the hardest – and most aesthetic – routes in the world.

 

Directed and produced by veteran filmmaker Mike Call,
Perfecto captures the beauty, adrenaline and purity of the Mallorca experience.
