(Translated by Google) I have done the initiation course and I liked it a lot, because of the content, relaxed atmosphere and at the same time serious in relation to safety. I will surely sign up for more activities!
(Original) He he hecho el curso de iniciación y me ha gustado mucho, por el contenido, clima descontraído y a la vez serio en relación a la seguridad. Seguramente me apuntaré a más actividades!
Santi is a great guide and a better person. I did the Kalymnos trip with him and I simply could not be more greatful.
If you are looking for anything climbing related, Southclimb is your go to.
I organised a 4hr climbing session in Siurana for 10 children (mostly aged 8-9) and Santi was super easy to communicate with and organise everything remotely. He arranged 2 guides, all the equipment, safe briefing and everything you would need for a half day of fun climbing. The kids really enjoyed themselves and learnt so much along the way. Some were beginners, others had climbed before and the guides were very helpful and supportive. I highly recommend Southclimb and we can’t wait to go climbing with them again.
Great experience. Santi arranged and communicated all the logistics very well. Giordano was a great instructor and made the experience fun and comfortable. Will recommend Southclimb.
(Translated by Google) Bua the fear management course in very very top climbing. We all left highly motivated and with a lot of tools to continue working. Santi is a person who gives a lot of confidence and transmits absolute tranquility and affection. 100% I will do a course again!
(Original) Bua el curso de gestión del miedo en escalada muy muy top. Nos fuimos todos ultra motivados y con un montón de herramientas para seguir trabajando. Santi es una persona que da muchísima confianza y transmite una tranquilidad y cariño absolutos. 100% volveré a hacer un curso!
We did a two-day climbing course in Siurana and Arboli and couldn't be happier. Giordano is one of the best guides I have gone out climbing with, he explains things super well and has something to offer no matter your level. The communication with SouthClimb before the course was smooth - they gave us good recommendations about the best ways to get to the area, places to stay, and what to expect.
Santi hosted 5 of us amateur climbers in Siurana for 5 days, most of whom had never climbed outdoors before. We felt so safe with Santi as a guide, and he was able to provide climbing support as well as local recommendations (and jokes) at the same time! We all definitely leant a lot from him.
(Translated by Google) A great climbing day!
(Original)Un dia d'escalada genial!
(Translated by Google) I decided to give my 8 and 10 year old children a climbing baptism for the whole family and it has been a brutal experience!! We got to know Arbolí, one of the most important climbing areas in the Serra de Prades where we enjoyed nature and adrenaline in equal parts. The monitor Sara de 10, a great professional who made us feel safe at all times. 100% recommendable!!!
(Original) Decidí regalarle a mis hijos de 8 y 10 años un bautismo de escalada para toda la familia y ha sido una experiencia brutal!! Conocimos Arbolí, una de las zonas más importantes de escalada de la Serra de Prades donde disfrutamos de la naturaleza y de la adrenalina por partes iguales. La monitora Sara de 10, una gran profesional que nos hizo sentir seguros en todo momento. 100% recomendable!!!
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!
