Two Americans fall to their deaths while scaling sea cliffs on Spanish island

Two American men plunged to their deaths while scaling sea cliffs on Spain's holiday island of Majorca, police said on Wednesday.

The bodies of the pair -- aged 25 and 35 -- were found on Monday floating in the water near the Cueva de es Cossi in the east of the Mediterranean island, a spokeswoman for the Guardia Civil police said. Their names were not released.

They had been practicing deep-water soloing, a form of rock climbing without ropes that relies solely on the presence of water at the base of a climb to protect against injury from falls.
