I am a certified guide, and nature enthusiast, who ensures your safety and teaches you the techniques of each adventure sport while you enjoy a fun-filled activity rich in stories. I collaborate closely with a team of certified guides, so if I'm unavailable to guide you, one of the experienced members of my team will take over.

I have been passionate about adventure sports since childhood, with 30 years of experience in climbing, both in Mallorca and in numerous climbing and mountaineering trips worldwide: Nepal, Yosemite, Thailand, Morocco, Argentina, France, Switzerland, Scotland, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Tanzania, Pyrenees, where he has climbed important walls such as Fitz Roy (Pilar Goreta), Aguja Guillaumet, Taghia, Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Ben Nevis north, North Vignemale, El Capitán, Montrebei, among many others. I am a pioneer in adventure guiding, climbing, canyoning, and coasteering in Mallorca.

Our DWS trip with Francesco was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and encouraging and brought us to some really amazing spots. We truly had a great day that exceeded our expectations.5
Had an incredibly fun sport climbing experience with Francisco! We could not have asked for a better guide than Francisco; he was incredibly well educated on the different routes at the crag, had a great personality, was very hospitable (brought us food and drinks), was safety-conscious, and was able to adapt our experience to both myself and my partner, who climb at different abilities. He effortlessly setup top rope anchors on the beginner slab for us to warmup on before moving over to the more challenging, vertical wall. In indoor U.S. grades I’ve lead routes as difficult as 5.11- whereas my partner does not lead climb at all and top ropes as difficult as 5.8, this did not affect our experience at all and as previously mentioned, Francisco was easily able to adopt our experience to both of our abilities. It is also worth mentioning that before this, both my partner and I have had little to no experience with outdoor sport climbing, don’t let that deter you from booking this trip. My favorite (and most difficult) climb of the day was Higiene Cerebral. I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering sport climbing in Mallorca, I am already looking forward to my next trip here, possibly to try DWS next time! 10/10 experience. Thank you Francisco!!!5

We had an incredible experience with Francisco! We chose to do sport climbing and we could not have asked for a better guide. Francisco was well educated and personable. He was able to adapt our experience to both myself and my partner. I am a beginner rock climber and my partner climbs more at an intermediate /advanced level. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you Francisco!
