Description

Whether you are looking for a new sporting experience, willing to challenge yourself, or interested in having fun with friends or family, this program is for you! It is open to everyone, without any specific fitness requirement, just enthusiasm!

During 5 hours you will climb a vertical wall in the middle of the beautiful Cantabrian Mountains (2,648 m) under my supervision. I will explain participants the basic climbing techniques, the proper use of the climbing equipment, and provide them with key safety guidelines.

The Cantabrian Range stretches over 300 km across northern Spain, parallel to the Cantabrian Sea. Its combination of rugged elevations, green forests, and rivers makes this a perfect climbing area.

I usually suggest meeting at a climbing location in the Besaya region, situated in the center of Cantabria. However, there are several climbing areas around, so we can select the most convenient venue for the whole group.

Challenge yourself to a new exciting experience in the middle of nature. Send me your booking request now!

If you are looking for even more challenging activities in the area, I recommend the 3-day sport climbing trip in the Cantabrian Mountains and the Pico Madejuno (2,513m) guided ascent.

AEGM-UIMLA Guide from Spain

I did my first steps as a mountaineer as a teenager in Madrid. But the desire to enjoy all the possibilities given by the mountains convinced me to move to Benasque valley, at the heart of the Pyrenees.

Along the years I did several winter and summer activities not only in the Pyrenees, but also in Picos de Europa, Sierra Nevada, Sistema Central...

One of my passions is to travel and discover new places and cultures, so I did climbing trips to other European countries, USA, Canada, Morocco, India, Nepal, Kirguistán... This trips gave me a priceless experience that made me grow as a climber, and set the stone to my formation as professional mountain guide.

I now live in Cantabria, and usually guide both in summer and winter in the Cantabrian range.

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!

Maxine

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.
