If you haven’t heard about Prades before, you are missing out. This natural paradise is home of some of the best rock climbing spots in Europe, and dare to say, the world! So pack up your bags and get ready for an unforgettable rock climbing adventure around Barcelona.
Some of the places we can visit in Prades include: Siurana, Margalef, Tarragona and Rodellar. Combined, all these marvellous spots host over 5,000 limestone and conglomerate routes, with superb rock quality. And each one has its own personality.
For instance, Siurana and Margalef are unrivalled when it comes to challenging routes and a wide range of shapes and styles. Those two locations host more than half the world’s 9th b grade routes.
Then Rodellar is another wonderful spot. Just a bit farther than Siurana and Margalef, this marvellous place is a paradise for those who love overhangs. Here, you can climb incredible overhangs that will take your breath away. Yet, they are not as complicated as they look, as they rank only 7th grade.
So as you can see, the options are endless. And the fun will never stop!
What’s more, as this is a private trip, not only I will ensure your safety and fun, I’ll also make sure we pick the perfect routes for you. Also, we’ll take care of all the accommodation arrangements based on your requests. And, when it comes to the food, we have many options as well. We can cook our own meals, or enjoy the exquisite spanish cuisine in the many delicious restaurants nearby.
Please note this trip is designed for 7th grade climbers. However we can adapt it to 6th grade too.
If you wish to take part of this journey, just send me a request. I promise it will be a trip you won’t forget.

Mountain Guide
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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!
