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.

We had an amazing climbing week with Santi. He was experienced and organized everything perfectly. Santi is encouraging, patient and truth worthy, I would climb with him if had chance!
(Translated by Google) The best way to get started in rock climbing. We have felt super safe, everything very well explained and we have had a great time. 100% recommended!
(Original) La mejor manera para iniciarse en la escalada en roca. Nos hemos sentido súper seguros, todo muy bien explicado y nos lo hemos pasado genial. Recomendable 100%!
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) It has been a very good experience taking the climbing initiation course, we have learned basic concepts in a very entertaining and fun way. 100% recommendable. Surely we will repeat with the course a little more advanced! Thank you Santi and Guillem!
(Original) Ha sido una muy buena experiencia realizar el curso de iniciación a la escalada, hemos aprendido conceptos básicos de manera muy amena y divertida. 100% recomendable. Seguro que repetiremos con el curso un poco mas avanzado! Gracias Santi y Guillem !
(Translated by Google) great experience in the long way course, a weekend full of laughter and learning to remember with our instructor santi, a true professional and a better person, we will repeat more training with southclimb !!!
(Original) genial experiencia en el curso de via larga, un fin de semana lleno de risas y aprendizaje para recordar con nuestro instructor santi, todo un profesional y mejor persona, repetiremos mas formaciones con southclimb!!!
(Translated by Google) Take the long route course: two days, the first one took us to combat Montserrat, where we went from a theoretical explanation with exercises in the place to climbing and practicing what we saw. At all times checking and explaining why we do what we do at each stage. Day two: straight to one of the caps, where we immediately began to climb applying what we had learned with a long route of multiple meetings. You finish the course with not only tools to be able to do it alone, but with a way of thinking when it comes to Set up your rappelling or your meetings to be able to adapt to any situation! Super recommended and the best predisposition of Santi!! Super serious, and always very clear with each step we took.
(Original) Tome el curso de vía larga: dos dias, el primero nos llevó a combato Montserrat, donde pasamos de un explicación teórica con ejercicios en el lugar a escalar y practicar lo visto. En todo momento chequeando y explicando el porqué hacemos lo que hacemos en cada etapa. Día dos: directo a uno de los gorros, donde inmediatamente empezamos a subir aplicando lo aprendido con una vía larga de múltiples reuniones. Terminas el curso con no solo herramientas para poder hacerlo solo, sino con una forma de pensar a la hora de Montar tu rapel o tus reuniones para poder adaptarte a cualquier situacion! Súper recomendable y la mejor predisposición de Santi!! Súper serio, y siempre muy claro con cada paso que dimos.
(Translated by Google) Santi is one of the best guides I've met, I did the sport climbing course with him, the long route course and I also went for a couple of days to do sport climbing. He has always been very kind and friendly, the explanations he gives are clear and very useful. He knows the areas he goes to perfectly and gives very good recommendations to return there on your own.
(Original) Santi és un dels millors guies que he conegut, he fet amb ell el curs d'escalada esportiva, el de via llarga i també he anat un parell de dies a fer esportiva. Sempre ha segut molt amable i amistós, les explicacions que dona son clares i molt útils. Coneix perfectament les zones on va i dona molt bones recomanacions per tornar-hi pel teu compte.
(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) I did a long route with Santi, a real experience. I had a great time, I felt very safe all the time and I would very much like to repeat it one day with better weather and visibility!
(Original) Hize una vía larga con Santi, una verdadera experiencia. Lo pasé súper bien, me sentí muy en seguridad durante todo el tiempo y me gustaría mucho repetirlo un día con mejor tiempo y visibilidad!
Best Guide Ever! Seriously- we had such a fun day with Santi in Montserrat. My 3 friends from Switzerland were visiting and we all had such blast! I can truly recommend to book a tour with South Climb. Professional, fun and tons of positive energy 🙏 Thank you for everything.
