Super awesome climbing trip. The guide Oriol (Ori) is super kind and so supportive. I dropped my phone down below and he drove me to Manresa to get my phone fixed. He is super awesome guide and will take a very good care of you the whole climbing trip. I have super fantastic experience climbing in Montserrat with Ori’s guiding. Ask for him if you’re about to go climb in Montserrat. I couldn’t thank him enough. It was extremely fun, safe and enjoyable!!
