Description

The French island of Corsica is a beautiful place, well worth a visit if you ever get the chance to. It has a lovely assortment of villages, towns and cities. It also has an abundance of natural highlights that will almost certainly captivate you. Whether it is the gorgeous coastline or its rocky terrain, there is a lot to do, see and experience on the island. And on this full day trip, I would like to guide you on a memorable rock climbing adventure at Castiglione.

From Castiglione we will make our way to Rundinaia (1,750m). That will be our climbing site, and it is a great place for some exciting rock climbing. We will be climbing on the northeast ridge. The climb will consist of approximately 250 meters and will be at a TD grade. The climb will also involve a one-and-a-half hour hike as well. Thus giving you plenty of time to see the gorgeous landscape and scenery of Castiglione.

Rock climbing, while fun and exciting, can also be physically demanding. As a result, it is important that participants are in good enough physical condition to safely take part. And while rock climbing can be an initially intimidating activity, you can be sure that I will make sure you are safely guided throughout the entire day.

So do you want to rock climb in the beautiful area of Castiglione on the island of Corsica? Then send me a request. I would be happy to guide you.

I also lead another Corsican rock climbing trip at the Verghellu, which is near the city of Corte.

About the guide

Certified mountain guide UIAGM / IFMGA
I work with Manu, a good friend of mine...
We are both rock climbing instructors and certified mountain leaders. I shared with Manu happy and doubtful moments, building a professional future with a passionate focus on the mountain and the guide role. An open vision over the world, where our competences, knowledge and curiosity are at our client’s service for one day or for life.
The agency we founded together is the natural outcome of our profound complicity. People think we are cousins or brothers. We are just friends, and lucky to be so, because our children are in love: as in love as you can be at 8 years old!
We are both lucky to live in Corsica, this unknown mountain where climbers, mountaineers and skiers still feel like pioneers. This mountain is our playground and our office.
Curious and open to the world, we also organize each year trips to faraway places to see what other mountains and people can give to us, and what we can learn from them.
Ice in the Equator and Patagonia, Spanish, Jordanian or American rocks, snow in the Carpathians, Norway ot the Caucasus. We love the mountain in all its forms and every time we reach a summit we want to climb the neighbouring summit and find what is hiding behind it.

IMPORTANT COMMENT: the trip couldn't be made due to the weather. But both Cedric as the backoffice team has been extremely helpful in finding an alternative and solution. Finally we didn't go because of illness of 2 of the group. But definitely I will look for another trip next year.

We've had the best time with Manu at the Suare crag in Calvi. His professionalism is absolutely top class and made us feel incredibly safe with his professional climbing skills. Most importantly we had a lot of fun. Explore Share is an amazing platform with various activities around the world and I can't believe I never knew about it until now! I've already share this platform with adventurous friends and I am sure I will definitely be using this service again. Well done guys for your efficiency! Love your work!

Manu, was a very friendly and professional guide. As I am fairly new to climbing he picked a good route suitable to my experience. As a result I really enjoyed the trip and felt that I learnt a lot. I would definitely do this trip again and would recommend it to others

My 1 day of glorious granite sport multi pitching with Cedric! The only route (??) to start from the sea was a great adventure with some exposed pitched of enjoyable climbing. Cedric was great: full of energy and enthusiasm and really motivating. Obviously extremely professional and handing out advice both with climbing technique and rope / safety.

I had amazing 2 days climbing in Corsica with Cédric as my guide. Cédric introduced me to Corsican backcountry that he lovingly called his garden: massive towering mountain, emerald waters of roaring streams, beautiful wild flowers. I highly recommend Cédric to anyone looking for a guide be it Corsica or anywhere else. I miss this incredible place already and look forward to coming back!
