Mallorca is good at that time of year and has some short and super steep venues. Plus it's a beautiful island and the water might still be warm enough for a bit of DWS.

I've actually managed to reach the point where I'm a bit bored of going to Krabi now  :roll:

: Hay un bar (El molino del Gato) que se ha convertido en el punto de reunión pos-bloqueo. Excelentes chocolates y ambiente
roughly trnslates as there is a bar, the cat of the hill, the point of meeting for boulderers, and ecellent chocolate and atmosphere.
surely this is a world class destination!!!!

Nah my friend, I've not.

Looking at the pics its not as impressive as the roof that you posted.

Maybe you should get a rope on and go to Spain ;)

the pics on that site do not do it justice, Albarracin is very good.  Some of the lines do not look great but climb very well.  The place is a cross between font and hueco.

ola!
