Frequently Asked Questions

What level of climbing do I need to participate in the rock climbing course?

The Climbing Baptism is ideal for getting started in rock climbing. You don't need previous climbing experience. It is even an excellent activity for those people who want to retrain in security maneuvers.


What is the course schedule?

The schedule varies depending on the time of year. We want you to have a good time and feel comfortable on the wall, that's why in winter we usually start the courses later (around 9:30-9:45 am), when the sun is already touching the wall and has raised the temperature, and in summer we start earlier (8:00 am) to be able to climb when it is cooler.


Is the material included in the courses?

Yes, in all our courses and activities we include climbing equipment, with the exception of climbing shoes.


Can I get to the meeting place by public transport?

Most climbing areas are located in areas that are difficult to access by public transportation.


How do I know where and what time to meet the guide?

Meeting times and locations vary depending on the course, activity and time of year. 72 to 48 hours before the activity we will contact you to coordinate the final details of the activity (meeting location and time).


Do I need a particular level of physical fitness?

Climbing activities require a medium level of physical fitness. It depends a lot on the specific activity. For example, an introductory climbing activity doesn't require great physical condition, but a guided multi-pitch activity at Naranjo de Bulnes will demand very good physical fitness.


Can I climb if I have vertigo?

Yes, many people come climbing with us to try to work on their vertigo.


Is accident insurance included?

Yes, all of our activities are covered by civil liability insurance and an accident policy.


In the group course, do you create the group?

Sí, nosotros nos ocupamos de proponer la fecha y crear un grupo. Los cursos grupales se realizan con un mínimo de participantes.


What dates are the private courses held?

El curso privado se puede hacer en las fechas que tu quieras siempre y cuando tengamos guías con disponibilidad. Puedes enviarnos un mensaje y miramos la disponibilidad para la fecha que tú escojas.


I want to take a course but I can't find an available date

Our courses have limited spots and often fill up well in advance. If you can't find an available date, you can contact us and we'll arrange a private course for you or let you know about upcoming group dates with availability.


Is accommodation included?

No, accommodation is not included in the rates for our courses. It is only included on trips outside of Spain. However, if you need accommodation to attend one of our courses, we can help you find the ideal place.

(Translated by Google) Santi's mix of professionalism and good vibes makes the climbing experience complete: educational to learn and fun to enjoy. 100% recommended

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) A unique experience next to a great professional. The fear management course makes you spend a weekend connecting with yourself, nature, you meet new crazy companions... and always all the exercises safely next to a very close psychologist. For me, an experience of 10, where (regardless of the level you have) it is useful to stop grabbing the rock with your teeth and enjoy the fluidity and the fall, since it is part of climbing.
(Original) Una experiencia única al lado de un gran profesional. El curso de gestión del miedo te hace pasar un fin de semana de conexión contigo, la naturaleza, conoces nuevos compañeros de locuras… y siempre todos los ejercicios de forma segura al lado de una psicologa muy cercana. Para mi, una experiencia de 10, donde (tengas el nivel que tengas) es útil para dejar de cogerte a la roca con los dientes y disfrutar de la fluidez y de la caída, ya que forma parte de la escalada.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended, they took us in a perfect environment for climbing, with other options in case it was very crowded, they taught us everything we needed to be able to be autonomous in terms of the most appropriate security techniques, practicing everything from there. first moment: go first, place the tapes well and plate, use the grigri in the safest way, make a meeting also in the safest way, and even fall and dynamization techniques. I am very grateful because they solved all my doubts and even helped me choose material!! Nice day of climbing, good people and a lot of learning! A hug to Santi and Yoel

Excellent!

I had an incredible experience climbing Naranjo de Bulnes/Picu Urriellu with Santi. From the very first emails, communication was quick, clear, professional, and helpful - he gave us detailed advice on routes, logistics, and even transport and accommodation options.

On the mountain, Santi was outstanding you could see his love for the mountains and watched him come alive! He explained everything very clearly. His knowledge of the area and his patience with us made the whole day very enjoyable.

We can't recommend him enough - if you're thinking of climbing in Picos de Europa or anywhere else, book with Santi. Thank you for helping us make this such a memorable trip!

Excellent!

Santi is the best mountain guide in the area, hands down. His knowledge of the local terrain and technical expertise made for an incredible experience. Safety was clearly a top priority, but he also knows exactly how to push you to reach those rewarding summits and hidden spots you’d never find on your own.
