Description
Set in the gorgeous Catalan Coastal Mountain range, Montserrat is about 40km inland from Barcelona. I am offering this one-day rock climbing introduction course where I will teach you the basics of climbing. You will learn both how to follow and how to lead a climb yourself.
This course is for beginners but nonetheless you should be relatively fit to take part in this activity. On the day I will begin by covering some important climbing theory regarding the equipment, the most effective physical techniques and some safety tips.
Next, I will lead some climbs and you will practice following my routes and refining your technique. Once you feel comfortable following my climb you will learn to lead climbs yourself and attach ropes to the rock face. By the end of the day you will be full of confidence and after lead climbing, any climbing with a top rope in place will be a breeze!
I have a limit of 6 participants on one trip to ensure I can monitor all the climbers and guarantee safety.
If you’re looking for a breathtaking setting and enthusiastic teacher to begin your climbing experience, then Montserrat and I are the perfect match for you. I look forward to introducing you to the amazing world of rock climbing.
I also offer a half-day rock climbing program in the area. Alternatively, if you’d like to enjoy another thrilling activity in Montserrat, check out my Via Ferrata program. It is a great option for people with no climbing experience.

Mountain Guide
Right in the heart of Catalonia, well connected with Barcelona, stands the Montserrat massif; a mountain with big natural, cultural and spiritual significance that rises sharply to 1,236 meters from the top of St. Jeroni.
I organize guided activities and courses of all levels, and offer the possibility to discover this fantastic mountain accompanied by a professional certified guide.
Along with all these activities in Montserrat, I can guide you over all the natural sites of Catalonia and the Pyrenees, a region with a wide range of possibilities for trekkers, hikers, climbers, etc.
I promote the use of sustainable transportation (train, zipper, funicular) and the development of activities that stimulate in participants a feeling of belonging to the places he or she visits. This perception of belonging, as we work with feelings and perceptions, can perfectly be assimilated to a sense of spirituality.
Our main activities are:
Spiritual values of Nature for private, groups or companies
Rock climbing
Hiking
Via Ferrata

We had a fantastic time doing a via ferrata with Francesc. He sent me a map link so it was easy to drive my rental car to meet him. He supplied helmets, harnesses, gloves, and via ferrata kit. We had so much fun. Francesc is a really good guide and a really nice guy. If I’m ever in the area again I will for sure go climbing with him again.

Cesc was unable to guide us so hooked us up with his friend Gerard who was fantastic! The whole thing was seamless: - we got great advice on what train to get - we were met by a taxi at the station to take us to the start point - Gerard set us up with safety gear then took us hiking to the start of the Via Ferrata - Gerard was patient, helpful, and professional. Also just a really nice guy. - The climbing itself was _terrifying_ but so so satisfying when we got to the top! Big recommend, great fun, worth every penny.
