Off to Mallorca? - (Albahida MicroGUIDE)
Well I’m not, but maybe you are?
There was some discussion on the forums today about Mallorca and it seems people are heading out there once again for the winter sun climbing fix. One of the problems in the past with Mallorca has always been finding sufficient lower grade routes. The locals have never really bothered too much with bolting easier stuff and it is certainly true that the best of the climbing is in the higher grades. However for most climbers operating at around VS and above there will still be a week or two’s worth of climbing if you seek out the good destinations. Places like Puig de Garrafa, S’estret, Creveta and Cala Magraner have plenty of routes to choose from.

One route not to miss is the magnificent Albahida. A full day’s outing for most including a summit tick and a long descent. Unusually it is a trad route but only a small rack is required so no need to blow your ever-diminishing luggage allowance.
One thing you may not want to carry up the route with you is the guidebook. So now you can save a bit of weight by downloading the Albahida MicroGUIDE which has all the info included in the book.
