I want to go deepwater soloing but I don't know where would be a good place to do it. Any suggestions?

[UpoundBUTTS]

@Mroinkypoinkable Mallorca if you can climb at least 7a+ (5.12). If not I would wait, but there are some good lines much easier than that and the areas are just beautiful even if you are getting shut down.

i did my first dws yesterday, but didnt bring a chalk bag, which would have helped a great deal, are there any waterproof chalk bags ? many thanks

[caedmonm]

@djmoony1 @NFHfilms - Never found a waterproof chalk bag... not sure how it would work unless you had time to close it in the air! I normally either take 2 or bring some small platic bags which you can stick some fresh chalk in if/when you fall in.

[varminthunter805]

@caedmonm thats so smart i was thinking maybe you just had like 20 chalk bags so if/when you fall in water you get a new one

[joshphipps321]

you should try liquid chalk in a tube.....

[UpoundBUTTS]

@djmoony1 There is nothing that can keep water out of the bag, but ASANA makes (or used to make?) bags out of a waterproof material for DWS. I've also seen people make them out of a swim cap. With either one you can flip the bag inside-out, spin it by the belt and dry it quickly between attempts.

[NFHfilms]

what about the chalk bag? is it water proof or do the get a new one every time or what?!

[SHWAGGeb]

massive bouldering problem.

[caedmonm]

@040819932939 probably.. it's a fully bolted route.
