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.

Excellent!

Did one week course with Santi, in a group of 4. We went to different sites every single day (Siurana, Margalef, Arboli and Montserrat) which gave me a very good overview of some of the best sites in the Tarragona area. Teaching of Santi is of top quality, with the right level of technical and mental aspects and most importantly his passion to share is amazing. Always felt encouraged and motivated. Highly recommend Southclimb!

Excellent!

Santi hosted 5 of us amateur climbers in Siurana for 5 days, most of whom had never climbed outdoors before. We felt so safe with Santi as a guide, and he was able to provide climbing support as well as local recommendations (and jokes) at the same time! We all definitely leant a lot from him.

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) I'm super glad I found SouthClimb. It was my first time rock climbing, and even though my teammates were more level than me, Yoel was very patient and helped me a lot. I am sure that in a while I will appreciate all the advice and "good uses" that he gave us. 6 stars!
(Original) Estoy super contento de haber encontrado a SouthClimb. Era mi primera vez escalando en roca, y pese a que mis compañeros tenían más nivel que yo, Yoel fue muy paciente y me ayudó un montón. Estoy seguro de que dentro de un tiempo agradeceré todos los consejos y "buenos usos" que él nos regaló. ¡De 6 estrellas!

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!

* Guide is good company
* Route has beautiful scenery, very exciting and Santi knows it completely

You do need to bring your own shoes, which may be expected but wasn't mentioned on the website.
