Spain - Scotland - North Wales
While on holiday in Spain or at home in the UK you may want to hire us to guide you on a particular climbing route, via ferrata or scramble. This can be a great opportunity to try something you may have had in mind for a while or just to have the peace of mind of having an experienced and qualified instructor with you for the day.
Spain
The climbing in Spain comes in many diverse forms. There are bolted, single-pitch rock climbs just a few minutes’ walk from the road; traditionally protected multi-pitch climbs on grand mountain crags; long, multi-pitch, fully-bolted sport climbing; wonderful sea cliffs; classic ridge traverses and exposed via ferrata.
Some classic routes and venues in the Costa Blanca include:
