FAQs
What climbing equipment should I bring with me?
I supply all the gear. The only thing you need to bring are your rock climbing shoes.
What happens if the weather turns bad on the day of climbing?
I would suggest a different venue where the weather might be better. Another option will be to select another day according to your and my availability. If nothing works, and it is impossible to find a safe alternative, the tour will be cancelled, and you'll get a refund according to Explore-Share cancellation policy (See #7 here https://www.explore-share.com/terms/).

Luis was phenomenal. Great that he picked me up, gave great directions and we had some awesome climbs and views.
David
Traveled to Portugal last week to do some rock climbing. My guide, Luis, was excellent. We climbed west of Sesimbra the first day on the cape and the final two days in Sintra. Luis was excellent. The first day I said that I wanted to climb on walls adjacent to the ocean, which we did every day. He chose Routes that were fun, beautiful, and he felt appropriate for my skill level. At all times I felt safe and in good hands. I will definitely, hire Luis Next time I return to Portugal to Rock climb!
Angeni
Luis was super experienced and it really showed in his ability to pick a range of routes that both got me comfortable climbing outdoor for the first time and challenged me to stretch my abilities. I met most of my goals for the day and was very happy!

If you want to spend nice day climbing, Luis is the right person to show you the best crags around Lisbon. I've given him some info on how long and what kind of routes I've been climbing and Luis suggested traveling to Cabo da Roca. Possibly the most magical place I've climbed so far, with view of deep blue ocean contrasting with the orange granite. Here he offered to take me for my first trad multi-pitch climb throughout which he taught me some tips on both gear and technique and cracked some jokes here and there. He was even so kind that he agreed us two to be accompanied by my girlfriend who's not a climber to spend the time on the beach with us and offered to pick us up with his car. All in all a great guy and guide who'll make sure you'll have a great time. I can only recommend booking a trip with him. Thanks again Luis!
