I have been an IFMGA mountain guide for 25 years. I am also a passionate climber and have coached the Spanish National Climbing team. I work together with a team of certified mountain and rock climbing guides. If I'm not available to guide you, one of them will take great care of you!

Based in the Catalan Pyrenees and Montserrat, I know everyone in the climbing world in this area. After many years in the business, I still enjoy climbing, mountaineering and ski mountaineering in winter.

Super awesome climbing trip. The guide Oriol (Ori) is super kind and so supportive. I dropped my phone down below and he drove me to Manresa to get my phone fixed. He is super awesome guide and will take a very good care of you the whole climbing trip. I have super fantastic experience climbing in Montserrat with Ori’s guiding. Ask for him if you’re about to go climb in Montserrat. I couldn’t thank him enough. It was extremely fun, safe and enjoyable!! 5

Toti was incredible! He was very accommodating and found the perfect climbs for us based on experience and skill level. He also taught us both technical and physical skills that were extremely gratifying and memorable. He also taught us a lot about the local history of Montserrat while we hiked up to our climbs, which was both educational and entertaining! We would highly recommend climbing with Toti and now the bar has been set so high. 5

What people are saying about Toti & Guides' team

Angela

I am so grateful Oriol took a chance to be my guide for this experience! He was great from start to finish. He suggested various options to ensure this experience would go ahead for me, as it was to be a real highlight of my trip- though the weather forecast didn’t appear to be cooperating! In the end it was a memorable day..with not a single drop of rain! He was very knowledgeable about the area and overall a genuinely good man! I felt very comfortable with him throughout my climbing experience. I may have liked to stretch my ability a little more once I got a feel for the area, but all in all, I was just so appreciative for the day. This just means I’ll be back for more! Thank you! I would definitely recommend!

Jesse

Toti is an amazing guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a 10/10 experience. He was very knowledgeable on the areas history and very professional.

Ivan

Toti is a local legend and it was a pleasant surprise to have a guide with that much experience. It was our first multipitch climb and he picked a perfect place to teach us, very beautiful scenery as well. He gave very good instructions and was very supportive. I hope to come again for a longer course!

Bram

I had an incredible climbing day with Oriol as my guide, and I can't recommend him enough! Despite the rainy weather across Catalonia, Oriol knew exactly where to go and took the time to drive me to some hidden dry spots so I could still enjoy a full day on the rocks. His knowledge of the area and local weather patterns was impressive, and he put so much thought into making sure we had the best experience possible. Oriol was not only a top-notch climbing guide but also a great conversationalist. We talked about everything—from climbing techniques to local culture and just life in general. It felt like spending the day with a good friend who genuinely cared about making it special. If you're looking for a guide who goes above and beyond, Oriol is the one!
