What are the main features and specifics of the classic rockclimbing and other outdoor activities in Mallorca island?
Classic view from the Formentor view point - 'visit card' of Mallorca island
One of the frequent questions I get when planning my annual climbing schedule is why Mallorca is my favorite location choice for running rockclimbing vacations and classes? Are there not many places in the world where we can go rockclimbing? Turkey, Armenia, Greece, Georgia, Canaries, Cuba, Thailand and so many other incredible locations? Why the focus is done on Mallorca island?

Each of the mentioned locations is unique in its own way. There is an opportunity to practice rockclimbing - our favorite sport almost all over the world - that activity is quite 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 breadth of the range of possibilities. There are many exotic locations, for example, Madagascar island, there are narrow-profile, sports ones, for example, Kalymnos island in Greece.
Everyday climbing routine in Mallorca
However, the further I work as an organizer of thematic active programs in mountaineering and rockclimbing, the better I understand the correctness of the approach chosen a long time ago - there is no need to invent anything new in the sports.
Training as the norm of life is absolutely right and necessary for your physical and mental health.
But it is also necessary to receive other emotions - from the beauty of nature, from the works of human art, from the tight contact with cultural and historical events of nowadays. All these are integral parts of our existence.

So, Mallorca island offers to its guests an almost unlimited range of opportunities not only for recreation or rockclimbing, but, globally, for an active and healthy lifestyle.
What are the main features my rockclimbing trips to Mallorca island?
1. Very wide range of rockclimbing sectors and routes - sectors are not similar to each other, some have all the features of the coastal rock areas, some are completely continental in nature of the rocks. For those who do not understand what we are talking about - the rocks are very different in the nature of the relief and structure, depending on the location of the sector, the nature of erosion.

2. With all the variety of climbing sectors, visiting even the most remote ones does not require long road trips - any distance on the island can be comfortably covered by car in 45-60 minutes. Most rockclimbing sectors are located within half an hour from our base location.

5. An incredible number of additional opportunities for active leisure - climbing, cycling, running, surfing, diving, fishing, kiting, trekking - the bounds are limited only by your imagination.

6. Museums, attractions, art galleries and concert halls - so that your stay in Mallorca island does not turn into a continuous training routine.
On the island of Mallorca, you can not only practice your favorite sports, but also to participate in the cultural life of the island
7. So why no? Shopping. Mallorca has everything - almost all the European brands are represented in the mega malls, various sports shops and markets are available everywhere, equipment stores with absolutely adequate prices.
Winter in Mallorca is the perfect combination of brightness, freshness, deliciousness and activity!
To sum it up, I'll be honest. No other rockclimbing location of those which I selected for my rockclimbing trips and vacations, has such a combination of possibilities. Mallorca island is a must to visit, whether you are climbing routes of V or VI or even VII-VIIIth category. Even if you don't rockclimb 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.
