Anyone been to Menorca and done any climbing?
Looking for a nice holiday next year, but not all climbing, just a few days at the most over 10/14 days.
Had a look on here and there are a couple of reasonable sized crags but not much info, so anyone got any more?

Been lots of times in the past, but never found any decent climbing - and the odd bits of decent rock I found at the coast were unbelievably sharp finger-shredders. May all be different now though.

Ah, so not much then. Think Mallorca a better bet?

In reply to JFort: I went to Menorca in July and after much searching i found this on a spanish website

I didn't find the topo till the day i left for the holiday and did not end up taking gear, so cannot recommend any climbing.

The south of the island is mainly razor sharp rock but the south east coast seems to be where the main crags are. If your after a climbing holiday Mallorca is probably a better bet but places like cale's coves in Menorca were pretty incredible, climbing or not.

Mallorca has plenty of good climbing (and a Rockfax guidebook). There's also some very pleasant hill walking and scrambling.
