Description

Not just for trekkers and explorers, the Basque Country is also an incredible place for climbers to visit as well. And on this trip, which can last for one or more days, I would like to take you to the best spots for traditional, or trad climbing.

There are walls and routes throughout the Basque Country that will take your breath away. And, while there are plenty of options for expert climbers looking for that next challenge, there are also options for more intermediate climbers as well. So, as long as you have some prior experience, and are in good physical condition, you can enjoy great trad climbing in the Basque Country. Furthermore, either before or after your climbing adventure, you can visit the cities of Bilbao or San Sebastian, which are not very far from the climbing spots.

Some of the options you can enjoy during this trip include the following.

Atxarte
Ogono
Ranero
Mugarra
Etxauri
Valdegobia
Ramales
The East Face of Anboto
The Two Sisters
Spur Ziordia
Egino

Regardless of which option you choose, you can rest assured that your trad climbing expedition will be one you will never forget. And, also keep in mind the beautiful beaches of the Basque Country are not too far away either!

To join me on this climbing adventure, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you and guiding you.

Mountain Guide

AEGM Mountain Guide from Spain

Passionate for mountains since I was a kid, at 14 I started climbing in Atxarte (Vizcaya) walls, thanks to some friends. Later I discovered other activities such as canyoning, skiing and ice climbing, which allowed me to enjoy mountains both in summer and in winter.

I travelled around Europe, USA, India, Peru, Marruecos, among others, with the excuse of climbing some peak, wall, or doing some canyoning.

I've been a member of the 'Young Alpinists Technification Team' of the Basque Mountain Federation, and after gaining experience in all mountain disciplines I left behind my job as electronic technician to become a guide in order to pass on my passion and knowledge to others.

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!

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.
