Restricted Access
The landowners do not permit climbing and there have been problems with access in the distant past particularly on the Paret de sa Porta crags directly below the castle itself. In the more remote sectors, problems are very unlikely to occur. The best advice is to use only the described approaches and to leave if asked.
There is also a legal article prohibiting climbing on much of the crag due to nesting birds, between February and July. The ban does not apply to Pared de Sa Porta and Castell d'Alaro. (http://www.caib.es/sites/espaisnaturalsprotegits/es/limitaciones/archivopub.do?ctrl=MCRST34ZI314436&id=314436)
Rockfax Description
One of the best tufa climbs in the world! It's got everything; hands-off rests, back and footing, knee-bars, egyptians and a terrible name. 30m long and many fail at 29.5m so summon everything you have for the last move. © Rockfax

βeta: Crazy tufa fun!! Save some beans for the crimps just before the chains. I would recommend getting inventive with how you might rest on this. I remember sitting on a bulbus bit of tufa with my legs wrapped fully around it and getting a few chicken wings in to take the weight off, knee bars and back and footing. | ||
