I was recently asked to avertise this and, given that it's a similar project to our own Peak District Rigging Guide, feel fairly happy in doing so. It was a few years ago that the club were in Mallorca, but from what I remember this would certainly have helped somewhat. “Mallorca, bellezas en la oscuridad” is the practical and visual guide to caving in Majorca island (Spain).
Characteristics:
- Each cave is presented by an artistic portrait, carried out using differents drawing and painting technics.
- An aerial photo with a superposition of the access and the plan view of the cave, helps to give an idea of the location and surrounding area.
- Detailed access to the cave with a sketch made to scale and an illustration of the path by means of points, time, pictures and partial coordinates.
- Cross section of the difference of height from the car to the cave.
- Detailed and useful descriptionstogether with big pictures.
- Technical specifications the cave with spot height of every belay.
- List of the equipment needed to rig the cave as it is suggested. .
- Useful advices to make the visit easier.
- Cave surveys in 2D and 3D with small photos of the key points.
- News about the latest explorations made by the Majorcan Caving clubs:
- "Cova de Sa Gleda"", the longest underwater cave in Europe (GNM).
- "Cova d'es Coll", a real underwater treasure (GNM)
- "Cova des Pas de Vallgornera", new discoveries to add to this amazing and
unique cave in Europe, over 23 km of passageways (GELL).
- We also enclose a FREE CD ROM with a compilation of software, surveys, information and lots of stuff useful for cavers.
Furthermore, the CD-Rom contains the first "Interactive caves inventory
