What are main specifics of rockclimbing trip to Mallorca
Main features of the rockclimbing in Mallorca.
Our set of Mallorca climbing programs here
One of the most common questions I face when planning a new rockclimbing is why Mallorca is the most frequent and optimal choice for me to conduct my climbing programs. Are there not many places in the world where you can go rockclimbing? Turkey, Armenia, Greece (Kalymnos), Georgia, Canaries - Tenerife, Cuba, Thailand, even Madagascar. Why the emphasis is made on Mallorca?
Each of these locations is unique in its own way. There is an opportunity to practice the favorite sport almost all over the world - rockclimbing is very developed even in the most remote corners of the globe. However, each of the locations has its own distinctive features and, so to speak, the range of possibilities. Definitely, some rockclimbing locations are just exotic, for example, Madagascar, there are some narrow-profile, purely rockclimbing ones like Kalymnos. However, the further I work as an organizer of the thematic programs in mountaineering and rockclimbing, the better I understand the correctness of my approach chosen a long time ago - there is no need to go too far in the sports. Training as the norm of life is absolutely right and necessary thing. But it is also necessary to receive other emotions - from the beauty of nature, works of art, from contact with cultural and historical events. All this is an integral part of our existence and very important segments for the whole healthy mind.
So, Mallorca offers to its guests an almost unlimited range of opportunities not only for recreation or, so to say, rockclimbing, but, generally, for an active and healthy lifestyle.
So what are the main features of a rockclimbing trip to Mallorca?
1. A very wide range of different climbing sectors and routes – sectors in Mallorca are not similar to each other, some have all the features of coastal rock areas, some are completely continental in nature of the rocks. For those who do not understand what I am talking about - the rocks are very different in the nature of the relief, depending on the location of the sector and the nature of their erosion.
2. With all the variety of sectors, visiting even the most remote ones does not require long journeys - any distance on the island can be comfortably covered by car in 45-60 minutes. Most sectors are located within half an hour from the base location.
3. A huge number of accommodation options - for every taste, color and budget. Comfortable inexpensive apartments, secluded villas, luxury hotels.
4. Very comfortable prices for accommodation and meals. The quality of products, typical for provincial Spain - everything is fresh and very tasty.
5. An incredible number of additional opportunities for active leisure activities - cycling, running, surfing, diving, fishing, kiting, trekking - the borders are limited only by your imagination. 6. Museums, attractions, galleries and concert halls – all for that your stay in Mallorca would not turn into a continuous training routine.
To sum it up, I'll be honest. Not a single climbing location from those where I managed to visit and climb has such a combination of opportunities. So Mallorca is a must to visit, whether you are climbing routes 5 or 6 or 7 category. Even if you don't climb at all, Mallorca won't leave you indifferent.

Our Principles
AlexClimb Rule #1 - Safety First
From the very beginning of our activity, here nearly 16 years, the first Principle of work of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb is the Safety Priority. On the basis of this Principle all process of training is based, all programs and rounds are developed and carried out only within this main principle. We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority. In rock-climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing, the Priority of Safety of MCS AlexClimb-is your personal security and comfort irrespective of, than we are engaged - we train muscles and we work technology of the movement in the sports hall and on the rock climbing wall, we make the way through snowstorm to top or we relax on golden sand of the Caribbean beach after hot day of trainings on rocks. The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.
AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace
Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.
