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.

(Translated by Google) We did an initiation course in mountaineering where we learned many things, from the use of the ARVA, walking with snowshoes, the use of crampons and setting up meetings. We had a great time and Santi is an excellent teacher. Completely recommended to take courses with Southclimb

(Translated by Google) I did the introductory climbing course and the experience was very rewarding. With no knowledge of climbing I felt accompanied and safe at all times. Santi is a great teacher and you can see both his passion and his involvement. Very motivational and understanding. Totally recommended even for people without knowledge or practice.
(Original) Hice el curso de iniciación a la escalada y la experiencia fué muy gratificante. Con nulos conocimientos de escalada me sentí en todo momento acompañado y seguro. Santi es un gran profesor y se le nota tanto la pasión como la implicación. Muy motivacional y comprensivo. Totalmente recomendable hasta para gente sin conocimientos ni práctica.
The most beautiful setting with endless awe inspiring walls and valleys. We’re new to outdoor climbing and our instructor couldn’t have been better. Interesting, enthusiastic, patient and inspiring we felt like we were climbing with a friend who taught us so much and tailored our weekend amazingly to our ability. We felt challenged without feeling completely out of our comfort zone. So fun!
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.
This was, without a doubt, an incredible climbing experience - and all because we hired Santi of SouthClimb in Barcelona. He was kind, helpful, considerate, knowledgeable, encouraging, and made this an awesome day of multi-pitch climbing at Montserrat. Highly highly highly recommend him!!!!👍🤗🤩
