Barcelona, Montserrat, Guided Rock Climbing
Join Cesc or one of the certified guides in his team for a full day of exciting rock climbing in the beautiful Montserrat rocky range rising high near the beautiful city of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain.
Description
Barcelona is known for many amazing things, from the beautiful beaches and the Sagrada Familia, to the famous La Rambla street. However, there are many more amazing things to see and do not only in the city, but around it as well. And on this day trip, I would like to take you to the beautiful Montserrat mountain, located only 50 kilometres away from the city.
Montserrat offers hundreds, if not thousands, of different potential rock climbing routes. Absolutely stunning to admire from afar, seeing Montserrat up close and having the chance to climb and stand on one of several of its many peaks, from Sant Jeroni (1,236m) to Miranda de les Agulles (903m) is nothing short of amazing. And on this trip, you will the chance to do just that.
Due to the staggering variety of routes you can climb on Montserrat, there is also a number of different types of rock formations to climb as well, including big walls, needles, and numerous sport climbing crags. As a result, no climbing experience will be the same, but every climbing experience will be amazing. Also, because of the variety, there will be climbing options that are appropriate for people of all types of climbing ability. So regardless of your skill level, as long as you are in good physical condition, you can have a great time.
So if you want to not just see the city of Barcelona, but want to explore more of beautiful Catalonia, especially the natural beauty of it, send me a request and join me for a day of rock climbing at Montserrat. I know you’ll have a great time.
I can also lead you on a day of exciting via ferrata on Montserrat on this trip.
Accommodation There are many different wonderful and comfortable accommodation options that be found throughout the city of Barcelona. |

It rained the day of my guided climb which made the trip less than I had hoped for. However, Xavi made it the best day he could and after we bailed we did some sport climbing where it was protected from rain.

Our guide Adria was easy-going & fabulous! He secured a funicular discount & completely transformed the climbing trip to accommodate us as first time climbers. Even letting us progress to a FINAL VERTICAL CLIMB! An absolute perfect day at Montserrat! The views were jaw-dropping! Happy family of 4, Thankyou!

Francesc was awesome. He brought us on our first multi pitch. He made arriving at the belay stations and eventually repelling super simple and safe feeling. The climbs he took us on we’re awesome and would have taken us hours to find if we just arrived at a new crag with a guide book (especially if the book was in Spanish) Definitely the highlight of our honeymoon.

Everything about this trip was amazing. The only thing I felt could be better was about what to expect and / or bring for the day. We had a good idea of what was needed being climbers already but beginners may not.

Both Marissa and I had a great time climbing with Francesc. He was knowledgeable, charming and fun to climb with! Plus he taught us how to make pan con tomate :). One thing however, Cesc took some images with his camera (I cannot remember what he called it but it\'s similar to a GoPro) and we were curious if we could get digital copies. Can you ask him about that? I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone who is interested in climbing in Spain or anywhere in the world. Thanks!

I have to admit, before getting a guide I was very weary. I had never used a guide for climbing but decided to go with Cesc. It was the best decision I made. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He knew exactly where to take us for learning sport outside and continued to push us throughout the day with climbs that were at our level. Will definitely use him again when we come back to BCN for some multi-pitch!
