PUENTE DE ESCALADA
Pasamos 4 días increíbles de viaje de escalada en Siurana y Margalef.
Pasamos 4 días increíbles de viaje de escalada en Siurana y Margalef.
Hace un par de semanas, tuve la oportunidad de pasar 4 días escalando con Mahima y Justin, desde San Francisco. Cuando se pusieron en contacto conmigo por primera vez, su intención era escalar sólo dos días en Siurana, después de planificar y calcular el tiempo, pudimos pasar 4 días escalando en Siurana, Margalef y Montserrat.
Nos conocimos el domingo por la mañana para nuestra primera escalada juntos. Sería la introducción a una de las mejores zonas de escalada en España, Montserrat. Comenzamos escalando una ruta llamada Carles (V +, 180mts), en el Gorro Frigi. Subimos bastante rápido, así que decidimos subir otra ruta. Después de un par de rapeles y una aproximación rápida, nos encontramos en la base de la Magdalena Superior y listos para subir 98 Octanos (6a, 120mts).
Después de dos rutas increíbles y mucha diversión, casi en la oscuridad, llegamos al automóvil.
Nuestra siguiente parada sería Siurana. Subimos algunos de los clásicos del área y terminamos nuestro primer día de escalada en este pequeño paraíso, tomando una cerveza en el bar Siurana, con una increíble puesta de sol.
Al día siguiente fuimos a escalar en Margalef. Subimos algunas rutas realmente buenas y nos reímos mucho. Por último, un día en Siurana para probar más clásicos.
Fue un momento triste cuando tuvimos que despedirnos, pero seguro que nos volveremos a ver. Fue genial escalar con Mahima y Justin y mostrarles esta hermosa región.

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) The Southclimb climbing course taught by Santi has been very motivating, helping me to become aware of the dangers and how to take safety measures to be able to enjoy this sport to the fullest, 👍
(Original) El curso de escalada de Southclimb impartido por Santi ha sido muy motivador, me a ayudando a concienciarme sobre los peligros y como tomar medidas de seguridad para poder disfrutar al máximo de este deporte, 👍
Santi is the best climbing guide you can imagine. As a reference, we two are 6a-7a climbers, but we wanted a local guide to help maximize efficiency in a foreign area. He was highly recommended to us by a friend who Santi guided a few months back, and he was as wonderful as described. He takes his role as Guide seriously and comprehensively, from helping you plan ideas for areas to concentrate on, considerations of weather and season, logistics for where to stay and how to get there (he picked us up one day, and we met him in our car another), as well as making himself available to help with any other questions or needs for the trip as a whole (not just the climbing part). Our long chain of detailed texts show how dedicated and sincere he is in wanting to help plan the best trip possible for you. This was highly unique, unexpected, above and beyond, and much appreciated. Before you've even met, he treats you more like a friend coming to visit Spain than a client that he is just doing business with, and that warmth goes a long way and sets him apart from most any other guide I've experienced (i've had great guides in my life, so this just reinforces Santi's particularly special character). Like I really felt like we were friends, and still feel like we are, as he reaches out and keeps in touch still and I really appreciate that relationship. Humanity, sincerity, and kindness in business--what a crazy (wonderful) concept! As a climbing guide specifically: he is consummately professional, impressively knowledgable and safe, as well as comfortingly sensitive to your climbing abilities and needs, and tailors each day with climbs that are perfect for you--if you want to be comfortable or if you want a little/big challenge, if you want to experience highlights of an area by switching up crags in the same day. He knows the areas so well and of course knows how to choose the walls that are in the shade or in the sun for whatever time of day or season you are climbing. There is so much variety and fun for either multi or single pitch too. In addition, when we were all climbed out for the day, he took the opportunity to show us the beauty of the local areas, playing also a photographer and travel guide. He also went home to let us borrow his guide book to other areas that we were headed to later, and kept in touch to make sure the rest of our trip went smoothly. So nice! Here is a person who treats his job as a climbing guide and ambassador for the area with such deep consideration and earnestness, and who treats his role as a human being with exceptional kindness and faith. We are so grateful that he came into our lives as a climbing guide and as a friend. Thank you Santi for being you, and please everyone call him now for any guiding adventures (he travels to guide too!) Also, his rates are so fair and reasonable. And you will be so happy if he is available to take you on an adventure with him! Cheers!
(Translated by Google) Santi and the entire team of professionals who work with him are incredible... if I had to choose one word it would be EXCELLENCE. transmits so much security, that you only receive fun and learning. He is warm, human, ready to solve any unforeseen event. Start the day with a guide and end with a friend. He also advises you before the activity, and also after... You can write to him a month later and he will help you buy a harness, or he will give you a discount on climbing shoes. Is incredible. He is very passionate, you can see that despite the 25 years he has been dedicating himself to this, he still has that spark, that enthusiasm, and he transmits it. I honestly recommend it.
(Original) Santi y todo el equipo de profesionales que trabajan con él son increíbles... si tuviera que elegir una palabra sería EXCELENCIA. transmite tanta seguridad, que tu solo recibes diversión y aprendizaje. Es cálido, humano, listo para solucionar cualquier imprevisto. Empieza el día teniendo un guía y terminas teniendo un amigo. Además te asesora antes de la actividad, y también después... Puedes escribirle un mes mas tarde y te ayudará a comprar un arnés, o te dará un descuento en pies de gatos. Es increíble. Es muy apasionado, se ve que a pesar de los 25 años que lleva dedicándose a esto, sigue teniendo esa chispa, ese entusiasmo, y lo transmite. Sinceramente, lo recomiendo.
(Translated by Google) There is no detail or negative adjective to describe them. Despite the respect that must be shown to the activities they carry out, you always enjoy peace of mind and extreme security, because everything is controlled and insured. Fun is assured. Looking forward to repeat soon.
(Original) No existe detalle o adjetivo negativo para describirlos. A pesar del respeto que se le debe mostrar a las actividades que realizan, siempre gozas de una tranquilidad y seguridad extrema, porque todo está controlado y asegurado. La diversión está asegurada. Con ganas de repetir pronto.
(Translated by Google) A highly recommended course. Theory based on practice, which is the best way to learn. 🤗
(Original) Un curs molt recomanable. Teoria basada en la pràctica, que és la millor manera d'aprendre. 🤗
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!
