"Rock climbing Autumn in Mallorca" is one of the oldest thematic programs of our Climbing School - we have been running it since 2010
Before you plunge into the winter melancholy, it would be great to get some more sunshine and positive mood. It will help you to survive until spring time, and not to get deadly bored by gray winter slush in our northern latitudes.
The autumn rock climbing season in Mallorca is perhaps the most comfortable of all possible times of year in this wonderful island. The scorching summer heat subsides and the nights become cool.
Gray limestone rocks are warm to the touch; having warmed up over the summer, they will give off the heat until late autumn. The weather on the island is warm and quite dry, the sea pleases with the best water temperature for swimming or climbing DWS (Deep Water Solo) - as this form of rock climbing is very popular in Mallorca.
If you want to try this exotic form of rock climbing, autumn in Mallorca is definitely the best time and place. Since climbing DWS you will find yourself in the water in anyway, for such adventures it is better to choose a season as close as possible to the swimming time.
The possibility of DWS session is included in our autumn rock climbing program - if desired, anyone can try climbing routes from 5th category with no rope over water.
Our training schedule covers almost the entire central and eastern part of the island - climbing locations change daily to give to the participants the opportunity to appreciate the full variety of rockclimbing terrain of the routes of Mallorca.
The schedule for visiting climbing locations is flexible - if you want to repeat a visit to some special sector or add any of the new locations, this opportunity can always be implemented.
The cultural part of the program, as usual in our programs in Mallorca, is filled with the most vibrant and interesting excursions to the natural and historical attractions of the island.
Every day, and especially on days off from rock climbing, we take walks of varying intensity - from romantic routes along the crooked streets of medieval fortresses the Reconquista times, to the full-fledged hiking trails in the fantastically beautiful Sierra Tramontana mountains.
This 11-day rock climbing program "Autumn in Mallorca" is designed for participants without restrictions on their climbing experience and will be interesting to both beginners and advanced climbers.
The level of the routes available on this program is quite wide: from the basic V's to professional 7th categories of difficulty. During training, top rope belay is used by default - this is the only skill that we require from program participants.
If you have no climbing experience at all, in order to get the most and best of your trip to Mallorca with us, we recommend that first you go through several training sessions at Indoor Rock Climbing School
