CLIMBING HOLIDAYS IN SIURANA.
We spent 4 days climbing with this two crazy California guys in some of the world best crags. It was a blast.

Couple weeks ago, I had the chance to spend 4 days climbing with Mahima and Justin, from San Francisco. When they first contact me, there intention was to climb only two day in Siurana, and after we figure out there time and plans, we where able to go for 4 days climbing in Siurana, Margalef and Montserrat.
We met on sunday morning for our first climb together. It would be the introduction to one of the best climbing areas in Spain, Montserrat. We started off by climbing a route called Carles (V+, 180mts), on the Gorro Frigi. We went up pretty fast, so we decided to climb another route. After a couple rappels and a fast approach, we where at the base of the Magdalena Superior and ready to climb 98 Octanos (6a, 120mts).
After two amazing routes and tons of fun, and almost in the dark, we made it to the car.
Our next stop would be Siurana. We climbed some of the area classics and ended up our first climbing day in this little paradise, having a beer at the Siurana bar, with an amazing sunset.
Next day we went to climb in Margalef. We climbed some really good climbs and laughed a lot. And then one last day in Siurana to try more classics.
It was a sad moment when we had to say goodbye, but for sure we will see each other again. It was great climbing with Mahima and Justin and showing them around this beautiful region.
Route "Delenda Carthago," 180 meters, 6b. It's a modern-style route, generously bolted, and perfect for climbing on a cool autumn morning due to its south-facing orientation.
LEARN MOREWhat are the names of the best climbers in the world? Alex Lowe, considered one of the greatest mountaineers in history, who tragically died in September 1999 due to an avalanche on Shisha Pangma (8,027 meters), said: "The best climber in the world is the one who has the most fun."

(Translated by Google) I did an initiation course with Santi and it was amazing, I learned a lot and I had a great time, super nice at all times and above all very concerned about safety. As soon as I can I will sign up for more activities! I highly recommend it!!!

First of all, I want to thank Santi - our rock climbing guide - for an excellent teaching!!⚡️
He was consistent, attentive to our strengths and weaknesses, inspiring confidence and really professional (technically and psychologically)!
I finally overcome my fear of lead rope climbing which followed me for a long long time… A friend of mine had his first time real rock climbing and now he already knows both types (lead and top) of climbing and belaying!🤯
And it hasn't felt like a boring studying with a tired of all this annoying tourists instructor. Santi was behaving not just as a mentor, but also as a friend of us🤝🏻
Hope to climb together one day again✨🏔️
