Mallorca
The island of Mallorca has for a long time established itself as one of Europe's premier rock climbing and sports climbing destinations. Also Mallorca has now become a top European venue for Deep Water Soloing (DWS). The type and style of the rock climbing found at Mallorca has something for everyone from slaby walls, evil overhangs, juggy tuffas, roofs, and cracks. With a few notable exceptions, the majority of the rock climbing on the island is single pitch, with plenty of routes at every grade. The Deep Water Soloing areas are situated in idyllic bays mainly on the southwest side of the island.
If you avoid the hot summer season then you will find a quiet island, with pleasantly mild weather, that is easily accessible with cheap flights from all over Europe, and has lots of bolted limestone rock to climb. On top of this there is still the scope for developing new routes such is the abundance of rock to be found on Mallorca.
The majority of the established crags are located in the mountains on the northeast side of the island. The atmosphere of the climbing is magical with beautiful crags of perfect rock, set amidst some majestic mountains with glorious sunny Mediterranean weather.

Info
I understand that the Port de Soller sport-climbing sector is now closed because of new building.
Directions
There are too many areas to list them here; the Rockfax gudebooks (and downloads) are recommended. The Psicobloc guidebook concentrates on harder routes. A Kompass walker's map can be useful. A car is useful but some areas can be reached by bus and train:- sa Gubia near the village of Bunyola, Valledemossa, Tijuana near the village of Cala Santanyi (also the DWS and the arch in the same place), and the DWS at Porto Christo, Cala Serena near Cala ferrera, Port de Soller.

Hello!
I´d love to head out to Mallorca this week, next week, or the week after for some sport or deep water soloing (from now-ish to July 15th-ish). Would also be interested in doing El Chorro as well, close to Malaga. If you need a partner or know someone who does, let me know!
-
Gonna be out there for 3 days if anyone knows some good spots!
-
In Majorca from 10th to 24th June.
Looking to clip a few bolts.
Give anything a go up to 6c / 7a

Plan to head out late september for 10 days of deep water soloing. Hope to be as cheap as possible, might roadtrip (via font) or fly, then probably bivi in a cave or something. Check in if you have ideas, advice, want to join etc. Most of the stuff out there looks pretty hard, i think to get the most out of it onsighting at least french 6c would be handy.
