A guide to Deep Water Soloing (DWS) on Mallorca.
Mallorca has established itself as Europe’s finest and most popular deep water soloing destination with many climbers visiting just for this. The island’s famous big golden pockets on steep overhanging walls of perfect rock are both enticing and intimidating. The splashdowns into the deep, warm blue water of the Mediterranean, followed by sangria and tapas at one of the island’s many bars and restaurants make the place all the more memorable. Route height varies from a bouldery 5m to a terrifying 20m, and grades from 3+ to 9a+ means that there is something here for everyone. Add all this together and it is not hard to see why this has become such a desirable destination.
This DWS-dedicated guide covers all the main areas with lots of new developments and a completely new set of crag photos and action photos.
Covers: Cova del Diablo, Porto Cristo, Porto Cristo Novo, Cala Barques, Cova des Burador, Porto Colom, Cala Marcal, Cala Brafia, Cala Estreta, Cala Sa Nau, Cala Mitjana, Cala Serena, Santanyi, Cala Llombards, Port de Sóller, Sa Calobra, Porto Pi.
