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.
A short tale about a climbing trip to the iconic Verdon Gorge.

(Translated by Google) Always a fantastic day, the various outings we have done with Santi we have had a great time. Great professional, learning and fun guaranteed. Patience and great motivation for children and adults! 100% recommended. We will repeat!
(Original) Día fantástico siempre, las varias salidas que hemos hecho con Santi lo hemos pasado genial. Gran profesional, aprendizaje y diversión asegurados. Paciencia y gran motivación para niños y mayores! Recomendable 100%. Repetiremos!
Santi was the most amazing guide. As a first time climber, he made me feel super safe and confident on the climb. It was so much fun and an afternoon I will remember for a long time. Honestly cannot recommend enough 😊
(Translated by Google) Excellent course with Santi. I have done the rock climbing initiation course, a very complete course and ideal for those people who have never rock climbed or who already climb but want to improve. Apart from the great professionalism and confidence that he transmits at all times, I want to highlight the detail of being very aware of each one of us (group of 6 people). It has also taken into account the weather and the sectors where to climb without wind or cold. Very highly recommended!
(Original) Excelente curso con Santi. He hecho el curso de iniciación a escalada en Roca, curso muy completo y ideal para esas personas que no han escalado en roca nunca o que ya escalan pero quieren perfeccionar. A parte de la gran profesionalidad y confianza que transmite en todo momento, quiero destacar el detalle de estar muy pendiente de cada uno de nosotros (grupo de 6 personas). También ha tenido en cuenta la meteo y los sectores dónde escalar sin viento ni frío. Muy muy recomendable!
(Translated by Google) 100% recommendable. Santi is a crack, and he explains himself great! Looking forward to repeat!!
(Original) 100% recomendable. Santi es un crack, y se explica genial! Con ganas de repetir!!
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✨🏔️
Santi hosted 5 of us amateur climbers in Siurana for 5 days, most of whom had never climbed outdoors before. We felt so safe with Santi as a guide, and he was able to provide climbing support as well as local recommendations (and jokes) at the same time! We all definitely leant a lot from him.
(Translated by Google) I did the Initiation Course with Santiago, and it was an unforgettable experience! Dynamic, with a lot of practice. The difficult makes it easy! Then, the Tutored Rock Climbs have been really useful, full of emotion, SAFETY (one of the most emphasized topics). SOUTHCLIMB's work IS excellent, you feel personalized, you have fun while you learn, you get answers to doubts and/or questions very quickly. The routes where you will go climbing have wonderful landscapes !! Full of charm! I super-recommend it!!!
(Original) Hice el Curso de Iniciación con Santiago, y fué una experiencia inolvidable!, dinámico, con mucha práctica . Lo difícil lo hace fácil! Luego, las Escaladas Tuteladas en Roca han sido realmente útiles, llenas de emoción, de SEGURIDAD ( una de los tema que más recalca). El trabajo de SOUTHCLIMB ES excelente , lo sientes personalizado, te diviertes al mismo tiempo que aprendes, las respuestas a las dudas y/o preguntas las obtienes muy rápido. Las vías donde irás a escalar tienen paisajes maravillosos !! Llenos de encanto! Lo súper-recomiendo!!!
(Translated by Google) I have already done several courses with Santi, he is very professional, motivating and fun. He has a lot of patience and good humor, which makes you want to learn and improve yourself. We will repeat!!!
(Original) Ya he hecho varios cursos con Santi, es muy profesional, motivador y divertido. Tiene mucha paciencia y buen humor, cosa q hace que tengas ganas de aprender y superarte. Repetiremos!!!
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) I have done the initiation course and I liked it a lot, because of the content, relaxed atmosphere and at the same time serious in relation to safety. I will surely sign up for more activities!
(Original) He he hecho el curso de iniciación y me ha gustado mucho, por el contenido, clima descontraído y a la vez serio en relación a la seguridad. Seguramente me apuntaré a más actividades!
