The Psicobloc Master Series 2026 will anchor the sports program of the GRAVITEO Urban Sports Festival in A Coruña, Spain, bringing elite deep-water soloing competition to the city’s Port from September 18 to 20, 2026. According to event organizers, the competition features climbers scaling a 16-meter vertical wall constructed directly over the water along the Passeig de la Marina and the Explanada del Parrote, racing side by side on parallel routes without ropes, harnesses, or safety nets.
The Setting and Venue Logistics in A Coruña
A Coruña’s maritime waterfront will transform into a natural amphitheater for extreme vertical sports during the mid-September festival window. Competitors tackle the towering artificial structure directly above the bay, where a fall results in an uninhibited drop into the sea.
Understanding Psicobloc and Deep-Water Soloing
Psicobloc, globally known as deep-water soloing, is a form of solo rock climbing that relies on the depth of the water below to cushion any falls.
