Rock Climbing trips – Montserrat

We had a great 2 days tour with Marc in Montserrat, a stunning spot one hour away from Barcelona. On the first day, Marc initiated us to climbing in a very didactic and professional way. The following day, we embarked on a multi-pitch climbing journey of stunning beauty. A must do with a great pro!! Highly recommended for the climbing amateurs willing to discover a new spot. Thank you to the Explore-share team for making it possible.

I had a lot of fun on my first outdoor rock climb. Thank you! Next time I\'m in town again, I\'ll be sure to book another climbing outing.

Marc is the perfect climbing guide: excellent communication, super professional, very safe, and highly encouraging. He has a passion for Catalonia, for climbing, and for teaching climbing skills and that shows in his knowledge and disposition. I am an experienced climber and wanted to expand my technical skills and push my limits, so I booked a 3-day multi-pitch trip that included wilderness camping. Marc created the perfect trip based around my goals. As a guide he chose locations that were perfect in that I could climb easy routes to build my confidence as well as harder ones that were appropriately challenging. As a teacher he explained methods and technical skills clearly and confidently and always made sure I felt safe. As a climbing partner he is super encouraging, giving me beta when I needed it but also allowing me the space to figure things out. I am truly a better climber after this experience, and I also got to see parts of Catalonia I wouldn’t have been able to access on my own. I highly, highly recommend Marc for first-time climbers who want to learn the basics as well as experienced climbers who want to explore and expand their skills. Thank you for everything Marc!!!

Marc set me up with Fran who was the best guide I could have asked for. I had some climbing experience (sport 5.10-5.11 level) before going on the trip and Fran assessed my skills and tailored the trip to me. I wanted to learn how to multipitch more than try harder routes so he took it slowly enough to show me the basics of multipitch and even let me lead a route. Fran was a delight to spend the day with and this was a trip I\'ll remember for the rest of my life.

Very nice experience. Xavier is friendly, calm patient and v. Skilful

I really enjoyed my day of multi-pitch climbing with Carlos. He is extremely knowledgeable about climbs in the area, climbing technique, and about its history and culture as well. He tailored the session to meet all the goals I wanted to reach, and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout. I highly recommend him as a guide!

Xavi was a great guide. He was flexible with our needs and took us out for some great rock climbing! We would definitely recommend him and this trip to anyone interested in climbing while visiting Barcelona.

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.

I would highly recommend Marc for climbers of all levels. He can provide you with all your equipment needs and is a great teacher that speaks fluent english, spanish, and catalan. We had excellent communication together through the explore-share app and also personal email. I received specific information on how to meet Marc from the R5-GFC line from Placa Espanya in Barcelona to the estacion Monistrol de Montserrat. I was picked up at the station in Marc\'s car and we drove up to the Monastery and parked. From there we rode a funicular from the Monastery to easy access trails to all of our climbs. As an experienced climber away on vacation with my family, I was able partner up with Marc and lead as many pitches as I wanted! I benefited from Marc\'s expertise as a rock climbing guide and rock climbing beta. Additionally, Marc is a local and provided me with information about the area and potential future trips. I would highly recommend using Marc as a guide. Paul Connecticut, USA

Jordi always ensured my safety throughout the whole climb.

Marc was a fantastic guide for our two days of climbing. We were visiting Barcelona from Los Angeles, and my twin 16 year olds are experienced indoor climbers and relatively new to outdoor lead climbing. Marc made everything easy,

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.

This was my first trip to Spain, and climbing was not the primary purpose. My daughter and I are both experienced climbers, but not knowing the area I decided to look for a guide so that the one day we devoted to climbing on our short trip to the Barcelona area would be efficiently used. I had no idea how to find a legitimate on-line service through which to arrange this but in my research came across this company. Via the site I found a great local guide who gave us a wonderful day of adventurous fun, not just with the climbing but also by providing the history of the area.

Xavi its a very simpatic and attention guy, with a great talking and explaining everything about Montserrat and climbing tips near tô Barcelona. The experience it couldnt be better. I really apreciate.

Marc was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a great first experience doing multi pitch. Highly recommended!

Marc has complete dominion over the english language, and was very communicative over emails and ensured we had a safe and fun climb. He\'s a local and knows the topology incredibly well. Incredible experience!

My day of climbing with Marc was the highlight of my trip to Catalunya! I felt safe the entire time because he knew what he was doing and did a great job of teaching me. It was my first time doing any multi-pitch climbing and his instructions, tips, and supervision was perfect. He speaks excellent English. Marc helped me develop a lot as a climber. He knew the ins and outs of the routes we took and made the climbing experience very tailored to me - we climbed three routes in one day and I was exhausted by the end, in the best way possible. Marc brought along a camera and took about 40 great pictures during the climb which he emailed me the same evening. I appreciated that a lot because I wanted to share the experience with my family. The views are amazing in Montserrat too and the hike up (optional) was a nice warmup and fun. You can also take the Funicular, but it starts pretty late in the morning. The rock was super really fun to climb on because of how diverse the holds were and I felt the route ratings were very accurate. Great protection, but not a lot of exposure, depending on the route (lots of low angle slab, especially at the start of routes). Marc knew the larger area too. Unfortunately, it rained on one day, but we were going to go to another mountain range, which I was very excited for, the second day. I would 100% climb again with Marc and plan to if I am ever in Spain again. It was an absolutely amazing experience in great part because of him. Thank you, Marc!

Climbing with Marc at Montserrat was awesome! He contacted us before the trip to get an idea of what our experience was, and what we hoped to get out of the trip, and he used the info to help design the perfect climbing day for us! We felt completely safe climbing under his guidance. Very nice guy, we had a great time with him. He was also kind enough to capture action photos of us during the climb. Also, the location is undeniably gorgeous. It made for an unforgettable and truly life-changing experience! I absolutely would recommend Marc, to climbers of any level!!

Marc is a great guide. He was very professional, patient and super-friendly :) Thanks for the memorable adventure!

Had a great day climbing with Carlos. He\'s knowledgeable about, and devoted to, the sport. I only had a single day during my trip to Spain to climb and was looking to get on some of the best sport routes in the area - and Carlos did not disappoint. As a guide he was skilled and safe, ensuring that we had a shared understanding of the safety systems. As a climbing partner he was insightful in recommending routes, providing beta, and the softest of catches. We chatted the whole time about the sport and the industry and the various features of routes. Highly recommend Carlos as a climbing guide if you\'re in the Barcelona area and I will definitely look him up again next time I\'m in Spain without a belay.

Thank you so much for this unique and incredibly exciting experience! You encouraged us to push our limits and helped us out of our comfort zone whilst keeping us safe at all times! Your skills, experience, professionalism, and calming nature made us feel safe and looked after throughout the day. We hope that many other happy adventurers will have the opportunity to climb with you. Above all, you’re also an AMAZING photographer!!!! Thank you so much!

Carlos was great!!!. Highly professional with great attitude. Connected very well with our kid. and it is very clear that he made any effort to make sure we will enjoy our time together. highly recommend!!!

Climbing in Catalonia was filled with a lot of sends and copious amounts of laughter. Mirium is a bad ass woman guide!! She is simply amazing! I had a wonderful time checking out diff crags in Catalonia and would def recommend this trip. If you want to explore diff crags in Catalonia this is for you!! Mirium worked around my climbing ability and recommended climbs that was fun but challenging at the same time. I had an amazing time and I loved Mirium as my guide!!

Great guide! Excellent knowledge and preparation, easily adapted to our schedule, but also challenged us. I learned a lot from Carlos :) thanks again!

It was great

Altament recomanable per als qui ens agrada disfrutar de la verticalitat amb total seguretat.

We had a very nice time! Marc was a very nice guide and we really enjoyed climbing with him!!

I had Marc as a guide when I went climbing in Montserrat in November this year. I can highly recommend Marc, he was not only very professional (safety, equipment, etc) he also selected the routes very carefully to meets my needs and experience. Altogether I had 3 great days with Marc, super friendly and easy going guide! I’m certainly coming back to Catalunya to do more climbing trips

Miriam was a fantastic guide for me, and I felt completely safe with her. We had an amazing time climbing over two days, and she was patient, kind, and energetic. Go Miriam, keep climbing always! Also, Miriam is one of the few women guides in Spain, and I felt great about supporting her. Ladies - let\'s help each other continue to build our networks and businesses by investing in each other.

It was great, would recommend, 5/5 :)

A great morning out with Carlos at Cala Moli! Beautiful setting. Carlos was very patient and conscious of everyone\'s safety. He was clear on his instructions and made it a great experience for us!

Absolutely fantastic day out in Montserrat mountains. Marc is super friendly and easy going and helped me to achieve my goals while lead climbing. The area is also gorgeous with over 4000 routes to suit any skill level. Can not recommend enough!!

Beautiful climb on spectacular conglomerate rock. To top it off, Marc is very knowledgeable and friendly!

Trip was awesome. Met up on time, did lots of pitches, Carlos was very knowledgeable, safe, and we had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend him. -Rob A.

Carlos was an excellent guide. He communicated well and we learned a lot about Spanish history and culture from him. He took us to an awesome location so that I could propose to my partner!

Carlos is awesome! He was extremely responsive after booking and tailored a trip to fit our level and interests. He helped us manage logistics (places to stay, where to meet), and was prompt each day picking us up. Carlos knows the area and guided us to gorgeous routes at our level. This area has legendary sport climbing, which we only had limited gym experience with. Carlos led at first, but taught us to lead by the end! He also took & shared great photos of the trip! Highly recommended!

great time

I had a marvelous first time climbing experience with my guide Jordi. Thank you!

Miriam was the best guide I could have asked for. I did the 1 week Rock Climbing in Catalonia and had a fantastic time! Miriam is friendly, fun and supportive. She catered the trip to my abilities and I am so glad I went off the beaten track and decided to do this trip as I saw a beautiful side of Spain that I had never seen before. Thanks Miriam!

Marc was great, he even went back to grab me climbing shoes when I left mine at home. He taught me some of the history of the beautiful area, and put us up on some of the most spectacular lines I\'ve been on. Will recommend to all of my climbing friends, as well as book with him again when I eventually return to this magical place! Marc spoke English well and was very receptive, helpful and accommodating.

Marc arrived early for our day, and provided a great day of climbing. He selected perfect routes in a spectacular setting, and offered more than a days worth of climbing. Marc is friendly, informative and speaks perfect English. I would love have another opportunity to climb with him some day.

It was an awesome trip and a good first exposure to climbing in Spain! For some in our group, it was their first time to climb outdoors and Carlos provided great advice for transitioning from indoor to outdoor climbing. For me, I got a lot of useful tips on how to be more effective and to improve my technique outdoors. I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a great guide and a fun time out on the rocks!

Marc was skilled, friendly and awesome with everything! Highly would recommend him and this trip!
