I put together this climbing course in the Pyrenees, exploring the rocky walls of two fantastic destinations in the mountain range. The first weekend we will go to the Gripp valley, in France, and the second one to Mallos de Riglos, in Spain.
This course lasts 4 days, to be divided into two weekends (that can or not be consecutive). We will get the most of each location. Besides enjoying the varied natural landscape, we will have very different terrains to practice in.
This course is perfect if you already practice climbing occasionally (or often!) in climbing rooms and you wish to go further in a natural site, practicing multi-pitch climbing.
During this course you will acquire a solid technical base for multi-pitch rock climbing. You need to know how to climb leading on single-pitch, and how to belay a leader.
The final objective of the course is to climb the Mallos de Riglos autonomously during the second weekend.
We will work on:
– Belaying in an equipped multi-pitch route
– Belaying the second in the rops
– Chaining the pitches
– Installing an abseil
– Abseiling down self-belayed
The first weekend we will go to the Gripp valley, in France. The first day we will do climbing school to learn the techniques above. On the second day we will put it into practice at a multi-pitch route of the Lheris.
The second weekend we will meet in Riglos, in Spain. This weekend we will refresh the learnt techniques and practice in varied routes, so that you can gain autonomy for your future climbing adventures. We will climb Puro, with its 10 pitches and cramped top!
Did this climbing course sound interesting? Then book this trip and join me in the Pyrenees for two fantastic weekends! And I also offer a 3-day climbing program in Riglos.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
