Es Pontas, or “The Big Arch,” is a natural arch of rock that sits just off the coast of Mallorca. Sure, it is pretty – But to us climbers, it’s much more than a picture-perfect sea arch . Es Pontas has become known as one of the hardest, and most iconic, deep water solo routes ever established.
Mallorca is home to some of the most technically difficult rock climbs in the world. The reddish limestone looming over the coastal waves is often overhanging and perfect for deep water soloing (climbing ropeless above a body of water). In the early 2000’s, deep-water soloing was a newer discipline in the climbing world. When Chris Sharma started visiting this area, he and his friends would literally swim for miles along the coastline, braving rough seas and swarms of jellyfish in search of possible lines in the sea cliffs.
Miguel Riera, a Mallorca local and deep-water soloist, turned Sharma onto many of his favorite lines in the region. As they climbed more and more together, they became fast friends. Eventually, Sharma started to probe Riera’s knowledge of harder and harder lines. Sharma was looking for “the hardest climbs in the world” for deep water soloing. Almost as an afterthought – believing that it would probably never be climbed – Riera took him to The Arch.
Sharma spent nearly three years and four separate trips to Mallorca projecting Es Pontas, from 2003 until he finally sent it in September of 2006. Though he declined to give it a grade, it was obviously the hardest deep-water soloing route in the world at the time.
Es Pontas Legacy
Jakob Shubert made the
fourth – and, as of now, the last – ascent of the visionary line in 2021, dubbed “THE quintessential deep-water solo.” Through general consensus, each of the climbers who successfully sent the route (after Sharma) have put it somewhere in the neighborhood of 5.15b.
Es Pontas is one of those routes that bring meaning and definition to the first ascensionist’s career. While Chris Sharma has many other notable sends on his report card, Es Pontas may just represent a culmination point in his life’s work. Shortly afterward, Sharma got married and had his first child. Things changed dramatically for this titan of the climbing world, and will continue to change. One thing that remains is his unbridled passion for hard projects. Another is his lasting ability to inspire us, almost without even trying.
