About the guide

Rock Guide
I entered the world of climbing 18 years ago, and it quickly captivated me to the extent that I now spend all my free time climbing and in the mountains. Since that moment, it has become my lifestyle and a means of personal and professional growth. Caring, discovering, enjoying, and immersing myself in nature through climbing and mountaineering is what makes me feel alive.
I started working as a guide in 2016 in Parc Nacional d'Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici. I have guided Norway (Lofoten Islands), Chile (North Patagonia), and Spain (Picos de Europa, Ordesa i Monteperdido, Montserrat, and the rest of Catalonia). Moreover, I have participated in the creation, organization, and direction of some sporting events related to climbing and mountaineering, as well as state climbing competitions.
Currently, I offer guiding services, climbing training courses for all levels, and climbing coaching in Catalonia, and occasionally in other locations around Spain. The activities can be personalized or conducted in groups and may include sport climbing, multi-pitch climbing, traditional climbing, self-rescue courses, and mountain ridge courses spanning one or several days.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
