Here Slovenian climber Natalija Gros stars in a short film called Le Tango Vertical in which she goes barefoot deep water soloing.
Natalija has climbed F8c+ sport routes and has competed at the highest level. She is twenty four years old and celebrates her twenty-fifth birthday this coming Sunday. She has been competing since she was nine years old and, way back in 2002 aged seventeen, Natalija had already redpointed F8b and onsighted F8a.

For the sake of balance, please can you post vids of scantily clad, tanned and muscled men swimming like mermen and scaling rockfaces too? PS I love the fact she blatantly had to get her bikini out of of butt before... goosebump - 27 Nov 2009
