The Book
The possibilities for winter sport climbing on
Mallorca first came to prominence in the late 1980s,
whilst deep water soloing really took off in the late
1990s. The first Rockfax publication was in February
1995 and covered 12 sport crags across the island.
This book is the seventh Rockfax publication and
covers 34 sport crags and 16 DWS crags making
50 in total. The routes in this guide are presented in
the familiar full-colour Rockfax style which offers the
clearest method available for locating and choosing
your routes for the day.
The information is as up-to-date as we can make it
at the time of publication but new roads will be built,
new routes will be climbed and new crags will be
developed. There is something of a boom in new
routing currently so it is likely that there may be a lot
more new information over the next few years. The
App version of this book will be updated periodically
- see page 8.

confusing then please get in touch via the Rockfax

Route Names
In order to create unique identities for the routes in
our databases, App and printed books, it is essential
that they have a route name. It hasn't always been
possible to find local names for some routes and
others are left without names by their developers.
We have taken the liberty of giving names to all of
the routes to aid in identification. In most cases, the
'invented' names are descriptive and inoffensive.
If you know alternative names for these routes
then please let us know via the Rockfax web site -
