Crag features
The crag at Cala Bota is set high above the sea and composed of well-featured rock. The routes range in style from thin walls to steep cracks with much more inbetween. The majority of the routes are in the mid-grades and, for those operating at this level, there is plenty to go at. There are a couple of good harder lines here but this is predominantly a low to mid grade venue. The ledge that runs under the length of the crag makes for a pleasant place to relax and belay, whilst the small beach of Cala Bota itself is not far away. The grades tend to feel tough but are consistently applied and caution is advised on your first visit to get the feel of the style and grades.
Approach notes
On the Ma4014 coast road, take a well-signed turning towards Cales de Mallorca and Platja. About 2km down this road is a parking area on the left. From the parking, take the gravel track to a large gate and go through the gap on its right. Follow the track to a distinct left bend and a track that heads straight on. Carry straight on (a right branch goes down to the beach). Continue for 450m to where a path on the right leads to a small stone shelter on the top of the cliff. Walk right (facing out) for 100m and scramble down a short wall to a path that leads back under the cliff to the base of the climbs.
| Nice crag in a great setting. The bolts are all good as are the lower offs. The routes are generally not that long, 10m to 15m, and quite a few have steep muggy starts. Route grades are marked at the start of all the routes so a guidebook isn’t really required. Good number of grade 5’s and 6’s and also a handful of very easy routes. Martin Haworth - 10/Mar/22 |
