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.
Si eres un amante de la naturaleza y la aventura, Montserrat te espera con los brazos abiertos.

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!
Santi cared about my overall experience in Spain as much as providing me a great climbing experience. Since I am an experienced climber, Santi encouraged me to climb hard at the same time as keeping safety top of mind. You cannot ask for a better guide.
(Translated by Google) We have spent an incredible weekend. Santi is very attentive, super good vibes and makes you feel safe at all times. It also gives enough freedom so that you have the confidence in yourself to move forward. He is very fond of him, you can tell he enjoys his work :) We have been wanting more!
