Climbing is an activity that combines adventure, sport, and nature, and there's no better place to start or improve than around Barcelona. With its diverse landscapes and rock formations, this region offers a wide range of climbing courses for all levels. But how do you choose the perfect climbing course? Here are the essential criteria to make the best decision.
Before enrolling in a course, honestly assess your level of experience. Climbing courses are usually divided into:
Ensure that the course matches your level to get the most out of it.
Safety and the quality of teaching largely depend on the instructors. Check that the instructors are certified by recognized organizations such as the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides (AEGM). Also, research their experience and reviews from other climbers.
Group size can significantly affect the quality of teaching and the personalized attention you'll receive. Courses with smaller groups often provide a better experience, allowing instructors to spend more time with each student.
Check if the course includes the necessary equipment such as harnesses, ropes, helmets, and climbing shoes. Some courses provide all the gear, while others may require you to bring your own. Make sure you know what is included to avoid surprises.
Compare the prices and duration of the courses. Longer courses can offer a more comprehensive experience, but you also need to consider your budget and availability. Look for a balance between quality and cost that suits your needs.
Reviews from other climbers can be a valuable source of information. Research online reviews and ask in climbing forums to learn about the experiences of other students. You can also ask for recommendations from friends or acquaintances who have taken climbing courses in the area.
Choosing the best climbing course around Barcelona requires time and consideration. By considering your level of experience, the certification of the instructors, the location, the group size, the included equipment, the price, and the reviews of other climbers, you can make an informed decision and get the most out of your climbing experience. Get ready to discover the thrill and beauty of climbing in one of Spain's most incredible destinations!

(Translated by Google) I did a ladder course to learn to go first and secure a first. Essential, super useful and practical. I have learned a lot about safety. It has helped me correct "bad vices" that I had and that can put my safety or that of my climbing partner at risk. And Santi, the instructor, a crack! He explains clearly, is patient, and is in everything. I have gained autonomy in climbing. Thank you for your dedication Santi! Recommended course 200%!

We did a two-day climbing course in Siurana and Arboli and couldn't be happier. Giordano is one of the best guides I have gone out climbing with, he explains things super well and has something to offer no matter your level. The communication with SouthClimb before the course was smooth - they gave us good recommendations about the best ways to get to the area, places to stay, and what to expect.
(Translated by Google) Very good experience with Southclimb. I will repeat!

Climbing with Santi/Southclimb is a stellar experience with a consummate coach. He’s extremely knowledge, supportive, and able to tailor experiences to your needs. He gets the best climbs and climber out of you. I’ve climbed with him on one-day and weeklong trips. For the longer one, he also puts much care into the full experience - lodging, dining and downtime - all good quality and well orchestrated.
