Mgarr ix-Xini and Ghajn Abdul crags have dedicated sports
climbing areas , though small amounts of sports routes
can be found on other crags as indicated above. This is
generally on harder routes (6b and above) or where natural
protection is poor. The decision to bolt is decided upon
a route-by-route basis.
Malta itself also has a number of crags,
