DWS Cabo Espichel – 7/2010 – (El Dourado Sector)
What’s the risk of going on a DWS climbing day
Risk exists if results are not certain …
Thus, lets examine two situations of our latest DWS climbing day:
- Passing a red light with the local police (GNR) behind you (when you know they are there).
Analysis: No risk there! You know it is certain that they will stop you for the ticket!
- Entering the water when the ocean doesn’t want you to.
Analysis: No risk there, also! It is certain that things can’t go right. (see photos below)
- “I have an idea! Lets enter the water using Abel (the boat) as a surf board! We run holding it and then, we all jump at the same time inside the boat!”…
Crash test dummys: Pedro, Ricardo Belchior and João Gaspar.
Ups! How likely would it be that three of us would fall at the same time? Ok, pretty likely, but never the less we weren’t expecting it so early! 
And now the consequences of the mistake…
Auch! Pretty close!
Uff! Safe again!
- Sandra and Dulce: “ahahahhaah, they made it!”

Temperatures in Portugal haven’t been the same as they were in recent years and, maybe for that, this year people haven’t been so interested in deep water soloing has they already have been… Nevertheless, last weekend we went for it!
The boat trip began in Sesimbra and ended at Pinheirinhos bay. The tide was at its highest and the air temperature was low (around 25º) but, as the water was not much colder (around 18º), it became a very good day to fall (maybe that’s why we’ve fallen in the harder climbs ;-) ).
The climbing team (climbers and logistics personal) was great, and included myself (Ricardo Belchior), João Gaspar, Teresa and Cristiana. And, when this team is together in high tide conditions be assured that fun it’s garanteed…
Here is some info:

Pois é… o Paulo Frescata a Teresa e a Daniela também foram, mas o primeiro voava muito rápido e elas acharam mais piada à natação e aos percebes
