Os proponemos tres vías largas ideales para iniciarse en la escalada clásica en pared.
El número de vías de escalada deportiva equipadas supera las 5.000 y las zonas más frecuentadas son Siurana y Margalef. Las vías deportivas van desde una longitud de 10 metros hasta tiradas de pura continuidad de entre 30 y 40 metros.En las montañas de la Costa Dorada no abundan las grandes paredes, son más bien de alturas modestas, aunque siempre con una roca de gran calidad. A pesar de ello, en lugares como Siurana, La Mussara o el Barranco de Castellfollit, podemos encontrar algunas joyas para disfrutar de la escalada clásica o vía larga, como se conoce también a esta disciplina popularmente.
Os proponemos tres vías largas ideales para iniciarse en la escalada clásica en pared.
Que no te engañe su longitud. Después de un primer largo fácil de cuarto grado, perfecto para entrar en calor, se afronta un segundo largo de quinto grado exigente, con mucho ambiente y bonitos movimientos. Una escalada técnica y atlética en algunas secciones te llevan hasta la cima de una esbelta aguja de roca caliza, sobre la que contemplar las maravillosas vistas delCamp de Tarragona, con el mar Mediterráneo como protagonista en el horizonte.
Covallonga es la vía ideal para iniciarse en la escalada de varios largos. La primera reunión se realiza sobre una repisa, hecho que facilita aprender las maniobras esenciales de forma cómoda y práctica. Además, desde la cima se desciende realizando la maniobra de rápel, por lo que en la misma jornada podremos aprender tanto lo básico para escalar una vía larga, como realizar un descenso con las cuerdas.
Lo mejor: Roca excelente, un segundo largo excelente en su dificultad y las vistas desde la cima.
Dificultad: V Metros: 35m Equipamiento: Parabolts. Reuniones equipadas. Localización: La Mussara. Aproximación: 15 minutos.
Más a la izquierda de la vía Covallonga, siguiendo el mismo muro, se encuentra Entre Boires, una bonita vía que roza los 100 metros de longitud y que depara sorpresas en cada uno de sus largos.
Después de un intenso inicio, la dificultad se mantiene en el quinto grado, y la pared ofrece una variedad de agarres, siempre buenos, que nos harán disfrutar de la verticalidad y el ambiente. En los últimos metros nos espera un movimiento a bloque, el punto final antes de alcanzar la cima de la vía.
Lo mejor: Escalar en uno de los rincones más tranquilos de La Mussara. Estilo atlético sobre una roca caliza de calidad suprema.
Dificultad: 6a Metros: 90mts Equipamiento: Parabolts. Reuniones equipadas. Localización: La Mussara Aproximación: 20 minutos.
La Aresta GER es una de las joyas de la escalada clásica en la provincia de Tarragona. El lugar donde se encuentra la vía, el Barranco de Castellfollit, es un reducto de paz y tranquilidad. El paisaje puede recordar a los Pirineos, aunque en este caso solo escalaremos a poco más de 400 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Es una de las vías más largas de la zona y recorre de forma elegante, a lo largo de un espolón, el Roc de Ponent.
Sobre una roca granítica de tono rosáceo rica en fisuras y buenos agarres, la escalada tiene una dificultad moderada y en algunos puntos podremos practicar la autoprotección, colocando fisureros y friends. Escalar la Aresta GER te transporta a un ambiente de alta montaña y es perfecta para descubrirla escalada de aventura y autoprotección.
Lo mejor: Un entorno salvaje y poco frecuentado. Dificultad mantenida y fácil de proteger conseguros flotantes.
Dificultad: V Metros: 180m Equipamiento: Semi equipada. Reuniones en arboles. Localización: Barranco de Castellfollit (L’Espluga de Francolí/Poblet). Aproximación: 25 minutos.

I did a five-day climbing camp with Southclimb and it was an excellent way to get familiar with climbing in one of the best climbing spots in the world!
Carolina, our instructor, was a lot of fun, kept morale high despite the unexpected bad weather conditions. She supported me with all my questions about climbing and pushed me to trust myself more. I also appreciate Santi for good communication with me from the very start and handling the camp shortening professionally, offering a fair solution when the weather forced us to cancel a few days.
Despite the unexpected challenges, the whole experience was very positive, and I look forward to climbing with them again in Siurana!
(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!
(Original) Hemos pasado un fin de semana increíble. Santi es muy atento, super buen rollo y te hace sentir seguro en todo momento. También da la libertad suficiente para que tengas confianza en ti mismo para avanzar. Le pone mucho cariño, se nota que disfruta con su trabajo :) Nos hemos quedado con ganas de más!
We had an awesome time with Mariano from South Climb! Did 2 days of guided climbing (first in Montserrat then in Gelida). It was great, he found routes that worked for both of us at our different levels (beginner and intermediate). He also had lots of tips to share to help us improve, which made the whole experience so much more valuable. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back!
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!
(Translated by Google) Perfect to start climbing. Totally recommended.
(Original) Perfecto para iniciarse en la escalada. Totalmente recomendable.
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) Brutal experience! Dynamic, very instructive, great team and very professional monitor.
(Original) Experiencia brutal! Dinamica, muy instructiva, gran equipo y monitor muy profesional.
I had an amazing time here. It was only my second time climbing outdoors and I didn’t really know what to expect. Santi, the guide, paced the difficulty of the routes really well so I was able to progress each day. This trip exceeded all my expectations.
(Translated by Google) Great experience! Santi is a crack. It explains great and gives a lot of security. 100% recommended for everyone (whether you are starting from scratch or if you already know and want to learn/improve).
(Original) Genial experiencia! Santi es un crack. Se explica genial y da mucha seguridad. Recomendable 100% para todo el mundo (tanto si empiezas desde cero como si ya sabes y quieres aprender/perfeccionar).
Santi is a great guide and a better person. I did the Kalymnos trip with him and I simply could not be more greatful.
If you are looking for anything climbing related, Southclimb is your go to.
