The area has a rich heritage in rock climbing. It is less well known than many of the more famous spanish climbing destinations. Nevertheless, it has quiet challenging rock for all abilities. We have also discovered some interesting scrambling terrain untouched by anybody but ourselves. We are currently developing the via ferrata opportunities in the area. Our scrambles in Mallorca annual trip is one of the highlights of our year.
Rock climbing for the beginner or intermediate climber on some of Andalucia's quiet and remote crags. More info about Granada rock...... "I just wanted to say thanks for making our trip to Spain such an enjoyable one. I'm sure it isn't always easy dealing with a sucession of new clients but you all made us feel like individuals rather than just the 'next group'. In particular the teaching was spot on both in terms of content and pace. Please pass on my thanks to all." Tom Margrain, South Wales Mountaineering Club
Andalucia province has a wealth of untapped scrambling potential. We shall embark on some of the best there is! Instruction will be given where necessary in the basic use of rope and gear for protection and safety. Guests should have a good head for heights and have some experience of hillwalking in the UK or Europe. Scrambles of grades 1, 2, 3 and 3S will be undertaken.
Mallorca is relatively unknown as a walking destination and you meet few fellow walkers
on some of our walks and scrambles, compared to the crowded hills of the Lake District and
North Wales. With over a dozen hills reaching 1000m heights and two over 1300m
the NW area of the island from Puerto Pollensa to Soller provides great opportunities
for ramblers, hillwalkers and scramblers.
If your interest is in scrambling,
rather than hill walking, then we believe that Mallorca has the potential to
rival the Isle of Skye, without the midges, mist and rain of course!
Rock Climbing has really exploded in popularity in recent years with thousands of people enjoying this fantastic extreme sport which gets you out in the great outdoors.

The course will be tailored to abilities to ensure you are challenged and have fun. Before long you will be scaling heights you never thought possible!
