AEGM Rock Climbing Guide
Ever since I was a kid I have been in contact with nature, and this has been my environment. Family traditions led to my first steps in the hiking world. I discovered wonderful places and learned to enjoy and respect the mountains. Still vivid in my memories are the ascents around Ordesa NP and the Catalan Pyrenees during my childhood.
At the age of eighteen I took my first steps in rock climbing. I dedicated some years climbing traditional classic routes, with the Montsec range as my school. With the experience gained I widened my horizons and started discovering new walls: Ordesa, Puig Campana, Penyal d'Ifach, Los Mallos de Riglos, Montrebei, Terradets...
In 2000, I got my Civil Engineer degree. I then spent my holidays climbing. At this point I started exploring the big possibilities France and its walls opened up: Verdon, Vercors, Jonte...
In 2002 I went on a one-year trip to Australia, but without climbing. After that year I realized rock climbing was my real passion. At then started spending as much time as I had climbing. My climbing trips starting taking me further and further. It was in Switzerland where I discovered my favorite climbing terrain: the amazing limestone walls of Wendenstöcke, Rätikon, Sanetsch... After that, new destinations kept coming: UEA, Jordan, Morocco, Dolomites, Sardinia, Corsica...
Finally, I decided to become a Climbing Guide and offer all my climbing experience to you.
My formal training started in 2011, as I became a Climbing Monitor of the High Mountain Catalan Academy (ECAM). Just after that, in 2012, I got my Climbing Sport Technician degree.
Not satisfied with that, I continued my training to get the highest climbing degree available in Spain. In the spring of 2014 I finished my training and became a Climbing Superior Sport Technician.

Taylor
Marc was wonderful! I couldn't ask for anything more for my first via ferrata experience. Marc listened to what my goals were for the day and helped me fully achieve them. It was a great afternoon on the rock and iron!
Macarena
I couldn’t be happier with this experience! It was my first multi-pitch climb, and Marc took great care of me. I felt completely safe the entire time. He also shared some fascinating insights about the area and Montserrat. I had an absolute blast and would highly recommend Marc anytime you’re looking to do something adventurous near Barcelona! 😊
Sabine
The climbing camp around Barcelona was an absolutely amazing experience! Our guide Marc did a fantastic job leading the group - knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly supportive throughout. Thanks to his guidance, I could improve my climbing skills, gained a lot of confidence on the rock, and we also learned a lot of new things over the course of the camp. I definitely left feeling inspired and excited to continue climbing more. Highly recommend this camp to anyone looking to improve their climbing skills while enjoying amazing mountain and ocean views from the top of amazing climbing routes!
