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.

Santi is an amazing teacher. It is very clear that he has a lot of experience and you can ask him anything about climbing amongst other things. Santi is also super friendly and easy to get along with. I would absolutely recommend the lead-climbing course I did here. It felt very professional and complete and I think it is one of the best ones you can get. Another note; Santi made awesome pictures of us :-), thank you so much for everything!
(Translated by Google) A great moment. Santi is always attentive, but with that relaxed energy... the day flows, you learn, the dynamics do not decline and you become happy. What else?

(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) Great experience! A spectacular treatment, they have adapted perfectly to my schedules and needs. It has been two days of the course where I have learned a lot, I have felt safe at all times, they have helped me with the necessary material and most importantly I have had a great time! Thank you Santi for your quick response and organization and special mention to Mariano who is a guide of 10! I will definitely contact them again to do the long track course!
(Original) Experiencia genial! Un trato espectacular, se han adaptado perfectamente a mis horarios y necesidades. Han sido dos dias de curso donde he aprendido muchísimo, me he sentido seguro en todo momento, me han ayudado con el material necesario y lo más importante me lo he pasado genial! Gracias Santi por su rápida respuesta y organización y especial mención a Mariano que es un guía de 10! Sin duda volveré a contactar con ellos para hacer el curso de vía larga!
(Translated by Google) I did the long route course with Santi and the experience was excellent, with great emphasis on safety and all the factors to take into account when planning a long route and the necessary manoeuvres. The practice day left us to work and find our way on our own, intervening when necessary and always keeping a watchful eye that everything was done safely. Always with good humor and good treatment, which is not less in situations of nerves and tension. Thank you so much!
(Original) Hice el curso de vía larga con Santi y la experiencia fue excelente, con mucho énfasis en la seguridad y todos las factores a tener en cuenta para planificar una vía larga y las maniobras necesarias. El día de práctica nos dejó trabajar y buscar camino solos, interviniendo cuando era necesario y manteniendo siempre una mirada atenta a que todo esté hecho de manera segura. Siempre con buen humor y buen trato, que no es menor en situaciones de nervios y de tensión. Muchas gracias!
