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.
La vía Carles al Gorro Frigi es una de las vías más repetidas de esta zona de Montserrat. Su generoso equipamiento, grado asequible y vistas espectaculares la convierten en una de las grandes clásicas del macizo.

(Translated by Google) Great experience! In addition to good training and security. They are the cane! I recommend it.
(Original) Gran experiencia! Ademas de buena formación y seguridad. Son la caña! Lo recomiendo.
(Translated by Google) This has been an incredible experience. From the beginning, the instructor gave me confidence and security both in the explanations that were very clear, and then when practicing climbing. You end up feeling like you've been climbing for a long time, even if it's your first time. We will repeat.
(Original) Ha esta una experiència increíble. Des del principi el monitor m'ha trasmès confianza i seguretat tant en les explicacions que han estat molt clares, com desprès a l'hora de practicar l'escalada. Acabes amb la sensació de que portes molt de temps fent escalada, encara que sigui la primera vegada que ho fas. Repetirem.
(Translated by Google) We made a climbing baptism. We had a great time. Santi is super professional. An entertaining day suitable for all ages. It does not require prior knowledge of climbing.
(Original) Realizamos un bautizo de escalada. Lo pasamos genial. Santi es super profesional. Un dia entretenido apto para todas las edades. No requiere conocimiento previo sobre escalada.
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) Our experience has been very good, we enrolled our son in an initiation course, especially to see how he was climbing, since he did it on his own; Excellent treatment with Santi, very professional, good communication and above all, he has given us security about the evolution of our son, he has evaluated the security and protocols part and has given us peace of mind, without a doubt, we will repeat! highly recommended!!
(Original) Nuestra experiencia ha sido muy buena, apuntamos a nuestro hijo a uncurso de iniciación, sobre todo para ver cómo estaba escalando, ya que lo hacía por su cuenta; el trato con Santi excelente, muy profesional, buena comunicación y sobre todo, nos ha dado seguridad sobre la evolución de nuestro hijo, ha evaluado la parte de seguridad y protocolos y nos ha dado tranquilidad, sin duda, repetiremos! muy recomendable!!
(Translated by Google) I did a climbing baptism with them. Both the place where we went, the Mussara, the equipment provided and the attention of the monitors was excellent.
(Original) Hice un bautizo de escalada con ellos. Tanto el sitio a donde fuimos, la Mussara, el equipo facilitado y la atención de los monitores fue excelente.

(Translated by Google) In August I climbed two long routes in the Pyrenees with Santi, "Tanger" in Collegats and the next day "El Rap del Niño" in Cavallers. A fantastic experience and the best guide to get back to climbing after a break of almost a year due to injury. 100% recommended :)
(Original) En agosto escalé con Santi dos vías largas en el Pirineo, "Tanger" en Collegats y al día siguiente "El Rap del Niño" en Cavallers. Una experiencia fantástica y el mejor guía para volver a escalar después de un parón de casi un año debido a una lesión. 100% recomendado :)
