Here are a few articles to help you become more familiar with our island, with climbing, and with yoga.

ABOUT OUR ISLAND - MALLORCA

The island of Mallorca is Europe’s premier rock-climbing and sport-climbing destination, and has also emerged as a mecca for yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.

This fact is no longer debatable (and we aren’t just saying that because we live and work here! It’s true). Additionally, our East Coast is now a world-class venue for Deep Water Soloing (DWS), and we know all the best sites.

The infrastructure and culture on the island has allowed NatureNurture to design and deliver phenomenal retreats. So, if you are ready for an experience in Nature or one to Nurture you soul… come to Mallorca and allow us to partner with you.

We are also available to skype with you—for no cost—to help you prepare for your adventures and experiences in Mallorca.

FOR BEGINNERS

Love the idea of climbing, but not sure where to start?
  • Well it’s not as complicated as it looks. Just check out this link. It’s REI’s beginner guide that will walk you through these 4 steps to becoming a climber in more detail.
    • Find a qualified guide (Although with NatureNurture you already have the guide part figured out!).
    • Identify the type of climbing you want to try.
    • Gear up (NatureNurture has all the gear you will need).
    • Find your route.
  • Here’s a detailed “Beginners” climbing gear list by 99 Boulders. The link breaks down the gear into: Necessary and Highly recommended. They also give extensive advice as to fit of shoe, prices, recommended brand, etc. Spenser gives this site a strong 2 thumbs up!

NOT A BEGINNER - BUT NOT A MASTER YET

Climbing is a skill-based sport. And there are skill-sets that a climber needs to master before progressing.
  • At NatureNurture we find ourselves watching YouTube videos when we are not out climbing. We know what you’re saying: Spenser, give it a rest! But, no, he won’t; because he’s always on the pursuit of getting better. Here’s his suggested link for the best instructional videos for the following skills:
    • Belaying
    • Rappelling
    • Technique
    • Sport Climbing
    • Trad Climbing
    • Bouldering
    • Training
    • Nutrition
