Gorg Blau Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

approach

Going from Sóller to Lluc/Pollenca (Ma-10) park at the small café at the turn off towards the coast (to Sa Calobra). Opposite the road a gate blocks a gravel road into a gorge towards the foot of the dam of Gorg Blau reservoir. Bypass the gate and walk 200 m into the gorge - the climbing will appear at the left walls.
