We are 2 certified rock climbing instructors from Romania who wish to share our passion for rock climbing and the outdoor!  
  
We organize Rock climbing holidays & courses- in Greece, Spain, Turkey , Germany, Romania - as well as gym courses in Bucharest.  
  
Our first climbing students were our own friends (back in 2010) and then many more friends came along on our trips. We discovered that we enjoy teaching just as much as we love climbing and then started to dream of ways in which we could meet new people and have fun alongside them, enjoying their first experiences on the rock as if they were our own!

  
We have created Abc Climbing in 2017 and have been sharing our love and knowledge of climbing since!

**Why climb with us?**

We are a fun group of passionate people, who travel around the world (most of the time in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey) to experience the joy of climbing, to learn more about ourselves, other people, and other places.

Doru, the main instructor of the camp has 32 years of experience, starting with 1985 (Alpinism) and 1995 (Sport Climbing). In Sport Climbing, he has climbed routes up to 8a and on-sighted 7b+. He started to teach/coach sports climbing and bouldering back in 2013.

Valentina, the younger coach, has been climbing passionately for the past 17 years and loves spending a few months each year on the rock faces of Geyikbayiri/Turkey, Kalymnos/Greece, and Frankenjura/Germany. Valentina has sport climbed hundreds of routes up to 8a (9+/10- UIAA) and is continually looking for the next challenge. Her aim is to instill the love of climbing in her students.

Climbing is all about having fun with friends out in nature, on the rocks, stepping out of your comfort zone in order to discover your strengths, weaknesses and values! Climbing will bring a big smile to your face, a spark in your eyes, and many amazing memories.

Enjoy a unique rock climbing experience and perfect your skills on this 1-week camp in Kalymnos. Contact us today and we will be happy to start planning this adventure with you!
