BARCELONA CLIMBING CAMP
5 days

Join this rock climbing camp and discover some of the best climbing crags around Barcelona. Away from the most crowded areas, you will climb really worthwhile routes in beautiful settings. We will be visiting areas North and West Barcelona.

The goal for this camp is to visit different climbing crags so you develop new skills as you move on different types of rock, which we think is a great way to improve as a climber. Coaching will be provided all the time so you can upgrade your climbing skills and safety routines.

You will have the opportunity to climb on different types of rock: limestone, conglomerate, sandstone and granite. So climbing style will be very varied: tufas, pockets, slab, crimps...

For the beginners we will organize a series of workshops for you to improve all aspects of rock climbing: safety tips, belaying, technique, self confidence, falling…

The most experienced climbers will have the opportunity to climb the best lines of the crag, tips and advice will be provided according to your level and climbing preferences.

We will be based in Monistrol de Montserrat, a beautiful village just 1 hour train ride from Barcelona. The village is at the foothills of the magical Montserrat Mountain. The accommodation will be in an apartment shared with the group and the guide.
(The accommodation can be adapted to your needs)

PROGRAM

Sunday: Pick up from Barcelona airport at 19:00 and drive to Montserrat.

Monday and Tuesday: Climb as much as we can, focussing on your weakness so we can work on improving your climbing on the following days.

Wednesday: A more relaxed day. We will visit Montserrat mountain and climb easier routes while we enjoy beautiful views.

Thursday: Climb more and work on improving your climbing.

Friday: After checking out we will climb in an area closer to Barcelona. After climbing we will drop you off at Barcelona airport or central Barcelona if needed.

We will climb around 6 hours a day.

(Feel free to adapt the trip to your needs. Maybe you want to spend more days or make it shorter, just focus on a couple of crags and work on routes or visit as many different crags as possible. Feel free to propose to us your desired climbing camp!)

My partner and I spent two days climbing with Marc in Catalonia and loved the experience!Marc is a great guide: very knowledgable and patient. He drove us to another area to avoid the rain and stayed climbing till late, so we got the full day of multi-pitch climbing.He also recommended a lot of local routes and climbing areas with different features, so we will definitely come back!

Marc was an amazing guide! He lead me up my first multi-pitch climb in Montserrat. He made me feel very comfortable and safe the entire time. After completing the climb, he also helped me complete my first couple lead climbs.

We spent a day sport climbing with Marc in Montserrat and had a terrific time. In addition to guiding us to routes ideally matched to our skill level, he was also a super nice person to spend a day with. He clearly loves what he does and we can’t recommend him highly enough.

I highly recommend Marc as a climbing guide! My wife and I have booked a four day multi-pitch climbing and it was fantastic! Marc has chosen beautiful routes that fit our level, teached us how to build/clean stations, how to rappel and other climbing best practices. During climbing he was very positive and helpful, always double checked our gear, placed additional quickdraws in difficult route segments and he took a lot of great photos of our climbing. We had a bad weather forecast for all 4 days of our trip, but Marc managed to find warm and dry spots to climb in these conditions. Marc also told us a lot of interesting things about Catalonia and best places to climb there. Thank you Marc for an amazing experience!

I had a great day doing my first multi pitch with Marc in the Montserrat region. We went to a beautiful sunlit route featuring dihedral and cracks and to avoid the winter cold and during and after the climb he imparted a lot of multi pitch wisdom which i will take with me for future climbs. He was happy to discuss anchor systems and answers any doubts that I had right up until the sunset was more or less setting!
