2-day multi-pitch climbing course in Catalonia
Marc is an incredible skilled climber with over 20 years of experience and in just two days gave us all the techniques needed to be autosufficient in multipitches. Also the atmosphere he creates is top, super cool guy. On the first day we did some single pitch climbing and a lot of information about the technical stuff and on the next day we had time to climb two multipitches.

We booked the 2-day multipitch course with Marc, it was absolutely worth it! The harsh weather conditions didn’t stop us ‘cause Marc looked for a great spot at the crag. We learnt the basics to climb independently with safety. Knowledge and good vibes, Marc is a top guide!

Marc is a great guide and a better person! I did a multi-pitch introductory course with him, and the truth is that I am very happy with it. Very professional and warm treatment. He is a great connoisseur of the territory, of the techniques, manoeuvres and the material. With him, you will learn and enjoy for sure. 100% recommended and eager to repeat!

I have done an introductory climbing course with Marc in Berga and it has been one of the best sporting experiences of my life. Marc has been very attentive at all times, he has been able to respond in a very pleasant and educational way to all my questions, he has also been very careful with the safety procedures, which I think is essential in climbing. I have really enjoyed this course that has motivated me to continue discovering the world of climbing. Thanks Marc!

Great connoisseur of his work, a lot of kindness, a lot of security, a lot of ability to convey things. Definitely a very good person both personally and at work. We did a self-rescue course for an entire weekend, in a very good environment (Merolla pass). The course was about having tools to solve problems on a climbing route, such as rescuing a rope partner and so on. We have finished the course and know all the necessary maneuvers and more, in order to solve any problem! Sincerely very satisfied with the course, the classmates and especially Marc Vilaplana! Thanks.

Marc has extensive knowledge of the subject, he knows how to transmit them so that you understand the reason for the manoeuvres, he is a flexible and pleasant person. He was open to proposals and considerations made by those of the group. Surely I will repeat some training with him. Some of the people I shared the course with had already done previous ones with Marc.

Do you think rock climbing in winter does not work well? Forget it! Marc shows you that Catalunya in January is an amazing experience. Above all, we appreciate his flexibility that allowed us to focus only and only on things that we wanted and he took care of everything else (finding the only place without rain, lending me his jacket and saving my fallen cell phone). In short, superb experience with a superb instructor!

Multi-pitch first time experience in Montserrat, near Barcelona
I found Marc through his Instagram profile and knew immediately that he would be the perfect guide to help me deepen my knowledge and experience of outdoor climbing. We spent a full 10-hour day together where he taught me the basics of rocks climbing, practicing top roping, leading, multi-pitching and rappelling. His clear explanations, skill, guidance, and not to mention patience and confidence in my abilities were remarkable, and I was so happy with the service provided. I very much look forward to climbing again with Marc and hope to bring some friends along the next time! Thank you Marc and hasta pronto!

Marc was an incredible guide! He kept very strong communication leading up to the trip to ensure our goals were met. On the trip itself Marc went above and beyond to ensure we were safe and having fun while learning a ton on our first multi pitch climb. My girlfriend and I had an issue finding a place to camp for the night and Marc never left our side and ensured we had the right accommodations. This was a trip we’ll never forget thanks to Marc’s engagement.

The trip was definitely worth it! Toti is an amazing guy and an incredible climbing guide! Toti gave me all necessary instruction to go from Barcelona to Montserrat and was on time to meet me when I arrived. He is a very experienced climber and suggested a very good route option for my level. He is very patience and thoughtful when giving instruction and sharing his expertise. He was also very kind and showed me Montserrat mountain. I definitely recommend Toti if you\'re looking for a good climbing experience in Montserrat!

Week of rock climbing in Catalonia
Had a wonderful week with Miriam in the beautiful Catalonia! Miriam was a fantastic guide and was very good at keeping everything safe, fun and sufficiently challenging. I only had minor experience with rock climbing prior to this trip and by the end of it I felt comfortable being lead on multi-pitch routes. I was very impressed by the beauty and diversity of Catalonia. In just a few hours of driving could the whole landscape can change completely. A perfect place for trying different rock types and to just enjoy the spectacular views!

The guide Toti is a professional climber with great experience. He guide us through different drills in order to climb safely yet he managed to challenge us (new outdoor climbers). He was fun too. Unfortunately the booking process was a little slow but I hope this will improve I am so happy with the experience.

Marc went above and beyond to make sure we had a great holiday. We had never done lead climbing outdoors, but Marc showed us the ropes and taught us the essentials in a safe and thorough manner. It was one of the best trips of my life, and we have Marc to thank for teaching us, and showing us the hidden gems that only an experienced local would know! I look forward to climbing with you again, ojala!

Carlos is an excellent guide. He taught and helped us move up in skill. Carlos suggested multiple crags and what he thought would be appropriate and fun for us. Explore share was an easy company schedule our adventure. The website itself was a bit difficult to manage at the final point of booking . Otherwise I would given 5s all around. Thanks for a great event.

My rock climbing experience in Montserrat was amazing, and this is mostly due to my guide Totti. He was very knowledgable, patient, friendly and very professional. This is the second time I climb outdoor, and Totti gave me lot of advice and guidance which made the technical climbing in Montserrat a very fun and enriching experience. Looking forward to go back to Catalunya and will request Totti again. Thank you Totti for the awesome day: it was the highlight of my trip (first time ever) in Spain.

Multi-pitch first time experience in Montserrat, near Barcelona
It was a day that I climbed 90 meters of wall for the first time, with the company of my father and the great help of Marc Vilaplana. I learned a lot, a very good time when we reached the top, we had lunch at the needle top of Magdalena Inferior. I highly recommend Marc as a teacher because he inspires a lot of confidence, a lot of calm and security, I learned a lot from him.

Spending the day with Carlos was great! he\'s a great climbing coach and a super nice guy. He taught us a ton of tricks and we reviewed all the safety infos, but little by little he gave us more and more freedom, which also gave us the confidence we needed. All in all it was a great experince.

Toti was amazing ! He is very experient and knows everything about Montserrat ! I recommend him !
Since they are the main mountain range around Barcelona, many climbing trips take place in these beautiful coastal peaks. Climbing to the top affords great views of the city, sea and Pyrenees.

Best time to visit
The best time for rock climbing around Barcelona is from April to September, but many guides offer tripes year round
How long should I stay?
This depends on how much free time you have. Most guides offer one-day rock climbing excursions with an option to extend the trip for another day or two. Other guides offer trips that last up to one-week
What’s the weather like?
The weather in and around Barcelona is hard to beat. During the summer, the average temperature runs from 25ºC to 30ºC with fewer than seven days of rain per month. Even in the winter temperatures are above 10ºC and rain is more likely but still rare
The Montserrat is a coastal mountain range that surrounds the city of Barcelona. It is here that most of the city’s rock climbing activities are located. The Montserrat present a diverse range of different types of climbs ranging from simple single-pitch ascents, to longer and more difficult multi-pitch climbs, meaning there is something for rock climbers of all levels. The Cavall Bernat is important rock feature here that is particularly popular with climbers from all over
Thanks to Marc I can now say that I feel more confident in the rock. He is a professional guide from head to toe and this is not found everywhere. On the other hand and no less important, personal treatment is very close and is a person who adapts to your needs and concerns. I am so glad to have climbed with you and hope to meet you again! 100% recommended!
