During the course I will teach you the necessary skills and techniques to use the specific equipment. Therefore, you will be able to enjoy this activity with greater security.

The introductory climbing course can take place in different rocky spots of Spain such as the Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada and Sierra de Madrid. Those mountains will help you to know how to move your body in pitches fully equipped for sport climbing.

In order to take the best from this program, you will need to bring the following equipment:

Harness – Helmet – Cat feet – Anchors- 3 HMS carabiners – Comfortable clothes – Water and food

We will provide the rest of the climbing gear (ropes, slings, blockers, etc.). Besides, my team and I will help you in any technique you need to improve.

I will also see to find the best mountain according to your level and experience. I’ve done several ascents in the Alps and Pyrenees and, what’s more, I’m originally from Andalucía, so I know in detail the region of Sierra Nevada.

I offer this introductory climbing course all the weekends from April to October in any of the above-mentioned mountains. The maximum of people per group is 6 participants.

Man

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.
