Climbing is an activity that combines adventure, sport, and nature, and there's no better place to start or improve than around Barcelona. With its diverse landscapes and rock formations, this region offers a wide range of climbing courses for all levels. But how do you choose the perfect climbing course? Here are the essential criteria to make the best decision.
Before enrolling in a course, honestly assess your level of experience. Climbing courses are usually divided into:
Ensure that the course matches your level to get the most out of it.
Safety and the quality of teaching largely depend on the instructors. Check that the instructors are certified by recognized organizations such as the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides (AEGM). Also, research their experience and reviews from other climbers.
Group size can significantly affect the quality of teaching and the personalized attention you'll receive. Courses with smaller groups often provide a better experience, allowing instructors to spend more time with each student.
Check if the course includes the necessary equipment such as harnesses, ropes, helmets, and climbing shoes. Some courses provide all the gear, while others may require you to bring your own. Make sure you know what is included to avoid surprises.
Compare the prices and duration of the courses. Longer courses can offer a more comprehensive experience, but you also need to consider your budget and availability. Look for a balance between quality and cost that suits your needs.
Reviews from other climbers can be a valuable source of information. Research online reviews and ask in climbing forums to learn about the experiences of other students. You can also ask for recommendations from friends or acquaintances who have taken climbing courses in the area.
Choosing the best climbing course around Barcelona requires time and consideration. By considering your level of experience, the certification of the instructors, the location, the group size, the included equipment, the price, and the reviews of other climbers, you can make an informed decision and get the most out of your climbing experience.

Had an amazing time learning to multi-pitch with Santi and Mariano in Montserrat. They were patient with us and taught us everything we need. We ended the day by climbing El Gorro Frigo (5 pitches).
(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.
(Translated by Google) Excellent experience
(Original)Excelente experiencia
Just finished the 2-day multi pitch course. Excellent experience with our coach Santi, who is a professional and very experienced rock climber and alpinist.
We were taught all the techniques and logics to complete a multi pitch route in the mountains (the second day in Montserrat is amazing!).
We also had many nice small talks about risk management, how to start climbing multi pitch for beginners, etc.. Very nice people and vibe here ;)
(Translated by Google) A great morning of climbing with Mariano for Siurana. Small groups of people, which allows you to hang out and feel safe at all times. Highly recommended!
