A short film, climbing at Sant Marti, Alcudia.

Earlier this year Joost and Paul came over from Holland to do some multi-pitch climbing with us.

  

You can see the guys in the image above  getting ready to abseil off the top of the Sant Marti crag at Alcudia.

With me acting as camera man (sometimes) we filmed some of the climbing and techniques they practised over the few days whilst they were here with us. Joost has managed to produce a short clip that you can view by clicking on the link below.

This will be of interest to anybody who wants to see what the climbing is like at Sant Marti.

As always if you need any help or information about Sant Marti or anything else;

Regards, John.

Bouldering in Boquer Valley, Puerto Pollensa

 

John pulling hard on a Boquer sloper.

Boquer Valley is a wild, boulder strewn valley just on the outskirts of Puerto Pollensa. Overlooked by the Caval Bernat ridge (a classic Mallorca scramble), with an easy trail leading down to an unspoilt Cala it is the perfect spot to spend some free time.

Despite the fact there are some  classic bolted routes and huge potential for new developement, roped climbing has forbidden in Boquer Valley for some years now. However there is hope, local climbers are now pushing the limits  here, projecting some of (arguably) the islands best and hardest boulder problems. 

Local boy "Lechuga" on a high, thin  6B/ B+ problem on boulder Nš 4.

The potential in the valley for new routes / problems is enormous, add to this easy access (5 minutes walk from the town center) and you have the perfect place for the boulderer.

To give climbers something to go on the rest of this blog consits of topos and directions to some of "Boquers" most accessible blocks and the problems on them.

Mail me if you want to grade them or have any more ideas.

As always, john@rocksportmallorca.com

Have fun.
