Chasing the sun to Redovan
With a couple of cancellations on earlier ferries, we were relieved to board the Cap Finestrat in Portsmouth. Less than 24 hours later, as we neared Santander in torrential rain, […]
Mar de Fuego – multi pitch adventure on Frontales Bajas
Last day of the trip so we decided to have a multi pitch adventure – Snr Fernandez’ website came up with the goods in the form of Mar de Fuego, […]
Villanueva del Rosario
Another day of discovery on a new crag – Villanueva del Rosario is about an hour’s drive north east of El Chorro, just beyond Antequerra, and became famous in 2003 […]
El Makinodromo and playing with trains
With the opening of the refurbished “Camineto del Rey” El Chorro is really on the map, with a thousand visitors on busy days! There was certainly quite a procession in […]
Puerto Rico – the Spanish one
After his exertions on Shark Attack Jake decided on a rest day (sensible chap – don’t know where he gets it from), but offered to undertake belay duty for the […]
Frontales and Poema Roca
Back to the sunny side and a day on Frontales. We meandered along without much of a plan until beneath sector Momia, and ended up warming up on a 7a, […]
Desplomilandia – chillin!
I allowed myself to be talked into a day at Desplomilandia on the basis that it felt pretty warm yesterday. Not a problem a few hundred metres higher and on […]
El Chorro and a first day blast at Las Encantadas
We’ve taken a break from the Peak District winter climbing season for a week’s Dad and Jake trip to El Chorro. 4.30am alarm for an early Jet2.com flight had us […]
Torre d’en Beu – You Either Climbed Today Or You Didn’t
Opening the shutters this morning we were greeted with thick clouds, persistent drizzle and a howling wind – that’s what you get for staying on top of a mountain I […]
Back to Caimari
It didn’t take too much persuasion to tempt us back to Caimari, as it probably has the best selection of long unpolished routes on the island, so we checked in […]
La Creveta – sharp holds and rusty bolts in a super seaside setting
With a strong southerly wind and temps in the mid 20s, Creveta offered shade, shelter and a stunning outlook. Unfortunately, much of the development here took place 20 years ago […]
Caimari – the best of the new developments in Mallorca?
Having left our villa in Soller we’re ensconced in a quirky hotel in the centre of the island – santori de Cura is a converted monestary at the top of […]
Valdemossa – the perfect airport day crag
A week has flown by and it’s time for the kids to head back home, so it’s Dad’s Cabs for the next couple of days. Jake and Leah are off […]
Alaro – A return match with Buf!
The towering cliffs behind the village of Alaro host some fabulous routes including a candidate for perhaps the best selection of tufas to be found anywhere. Another hour’s drive and […]
Calla Magraner
This was a trip down memory lane, as Helen and I were last here with a 8 and a 5 year old… Tash led here first route and Jake spent […]
Fraguel
What an awesome spot! High up in the mountains and tucked away up a hidden gorge, it is a wonder that it was discovered and developed. Happily it was! A […]

Sa Mollo de Felanitx
Billed as a shady crag with plenty of easy to mid grade routes, this seemed like a good spot to start Ollie off on his arrival – especially after a […]
Sa Gubia
This has to be Mallorca’s premier crag for the breadth of climbing available, from huge moderate multi pitch routes to steep test pieces, all in a fabulous setting – good […]
