Picturesque rock spire. True summit with summit register and a handful of trad routes with some bolts.
Prominent rock spire 300 m uphill of the junction Cala Tuent-Sa Calobra, . Very limited parking shortly before the road crossed the narrow rock passage. Mostly 2-pitch trad-climbing with some bolts to a true summit with register. Beautiful boulders at the base, also the walls in the background look promising. Wear a helmet.
Since 2013 a permit is necessary for access to the nature protection zone of Sierra de Tramuntana. More information at https://www.caib.es/sites/espaisnaturalsprotegits/es/como_solicitar_una_autorizacion-22089/ and since 5/2020, only the online application is possible, not any more the email-based. If you can provide more details about the online process, please edit this text.
Before 5/2020, you could apply by sending the following two signed documents plus a copy of your ID document (driving licence or passport) to the email autoritzacions@dgmambie.caib.es
For climbing area put 'Serra de Tramuntana' and for dates put the duration of your stay.
Between Sóller and Pollenca turn off towards the coast at the road to Sa Calobra. A VERY winding road with stunning views will keep you busy turning the steering weel for 15-20 min (on all accounts, avoid coming or going between 10:00 and 16:00, when the road is often clogged with tourist cars and busses). 50 m uphill a very narrow rock passage there is a viewpoint with limited parking. Walk through the rock passage and you'll stand below the rock tower.
It seems the name of "Cavall Bernat" as mentioned in the summit register is disputed, as can be read there, too. Unfortunately the discussion is in Mallorquin, so if you can clarify things, please do so.
