Rock climbing day in the Basque Country
My time with Oscar was phenomenal. He’s a master of his craft and is very passionate. We had a big day in the mountains and he was still ready for more! I couldn’t keep up! I highly recommend him.

Rock climbing day in the Basque Country
Booked the rock climbing day with Oscar in April for me and my girlfriend and we had an amazing time.Experienced indoor boulder climbers but with 0 outdoor experience. Oscar proofed to be a very highly skilled and trained guide. In the hours we spend together he learned us all about rope climbing, safety and we had a lot of fun. Friendly, experienced, social guy. He helped up climb out first outdoor 6b and we did a good selection of 6 other routes. Highly recommendable.
