Deià - Canal des Racó - Pas des Falcó - Pas Nou - Pas de can Boqueta - Xaragall de can Boqueta

Climbing the "Deià - Canal des Racó - Pas des Falcó - Pas Nou - Pas de can Boqueta - Xaragall de can Boqueta" route (Grade C) is a classic Mallorca adventure. This route, typically classified as a scramble (grade C indicates some exposed sections and potentially the need for short roping for less experienced climbers), offers a varied and rewarding experience.

The route starts near the picturesque village of Deià, known for its artistic history and stunning views. The initial section, the Canal des Racó, usually involves some easy scrambling and walking, setting the stage for the more interesting parts to come.

The challenges begin with the 'Pas des Falcó' (Falcon's Pass) and 'Pas Nou' (New Pass), where steeper sections and exposure become more prominent. Careful footwork and a good head for heights are essential here. While technically not very difficult, the exposure can be intimidating for some. Some sections might require using your hands for balance and propulsion.

The 'Pas de can Boqueta' (Can Boqueta Pass) usually marks the last of the more exposed sections. After that, the terrain generally eases off, leading down through the 'Xaragall de can Boqueta' (Can Boqueta Gully). The gully might involve some loose rock and careful descent.

Overall, this is a fantastic route for experienced hikers looking for a bit of scrambling and exposure. Those new to this type of terrain should consider hiring a guide or going with someone experienced. Be sure to check the weather forecast before heading out, as rain can make the rock very slippery and increase the difficulty significantly. Sturdy hiking boots, plenty of water, and sun protection are essential. Remember that 'Grade C' is a local classification, and experience is key to successfully navigating this route.
