Learn to handle unexpected situations on the wall and climb with confidence.
Our Self-Rescue Course teaches you the essential techniques to respond safely and efficiently to incidents while climbing. Through practical, hands-on exercises on real rock, you’ll gain the knowledge and calm needed to act effectively in any situation.
Throughout the course, you’ll practice key maneuvers and rescue systems to manage emergencies in a safe and controlled way:
- Rope ascension and descent techniques.
- Changing systems and load transfers.
- Partner hauling and lowering.
- Rescue maneuvers while abseiling.
- Real-world scenarios and problem-solving on the wall.
- Belay using a GriGri and a Reverso.
- Rappel independently.
If you meet these requirements, you’re ready to take your climbing skills to the next level!
The course takes place in La Mussara (Tarragona, Spain) — one of the most scenic and technical climbing areas in Catalonia.
You can join a group session on scheduled dates listed on our website or choose a private course, tailored to your needs and learning pace.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence and technical ability to act autonomously and safely in case of an emergency during your climbs — whether on sport routes or multi-pitch terrain.
At Southclimb, you’ll learn from certified, experienced climbing guides who combine technical precision with a fun, motivating approach. We believe in learning through real experience, so you’ll finish the course not only better prepared — but also more inspired to climb.

My goal coming to Spain was to get out for a couple days rock climbing with my family. I’m a fairly accomplished climber but the mechanics of trying to take the family out on my own. Mariano our guide was the perfect example of what a guide should be, he was quick to set up and take down the climbs, had the perfect eye for challenging but achievable routes for the family, was friendly, great with the kids, a just an all around good guy. I can’t recommend this company enough, and am already planning my return trip to Spain to climb with them.

(Translated by Google) This has been an incredible experience. From the beginning, the instructor gave me confidence and security both in the explanations that were very clear, and then when practicing climbing. You end up feeling like you've been climbing for a long time, even if it's your first time. We will repeat.
(Original) Ha esta una experiència increíble. Des del principi el monitor m'ha trasmès confianza i seguretat tant en les explicacions que han estat molt clares, com desprès a l'hora de practicar l'escalada. Acabes amb la sensació de que portes molt de temps fent escalada, encara que sigui la primera vegada que ho fas. Repetirem.

We had an amazing experience with Southclimb. Santi, our guide, was friendly, patient and clear throughout our three days together. He kept things moving at a pace that was ideal for our level of experience, and made sure we were able to cover all the things we were looking for help with. We’re looking forward to coming back in the future for the next steps in our climbing journey. Thanks again Santi!
