Margalef and Siurana climbing days in Tarragona

Toti was incredible! He was very accommodating and found the perfect climbs for us based on experience and skill level. He also taught us both technical and physical skills that were extremely gratifying and memorable. He also taught us a lot about the local history of Montserrat while we hiked up to our climbs, which was both educational and entertaining! We would highly recommend climbing with Toti and now the bar has been set so high.

Great experience in all aspects.

My 2 kids and I were very happy to climb with Toti. Toti is a fenomenal climber. Seeing Toti climb and learning from him was great. Between 3 of us we had different levels of climbing experience and Toti made it fun for all of us. At the end he gave us a challenge that we couldn’t accomplish. This was exactly what we asked for. At all times we felt very safe. We got unlucky with the weather. It rained that day in Montserrat. Toti found an area that did not get rained on. We started climbing but unfortunately later it started raining in that area as well. We met with our guid at the train station. The entire time prior to the trip we communicated through the chat on the Explore- share. The only concern I had was climbing shoes for kids. But Tori had some shoes that worked for them.

Can't honestly recommend this service. The guide (not Toti) showed up on two hours of sleep and struggled to put up 7a routes, even bailing halfway up a 6c that I subsequently finished. His knowledge of the areas was years outdated, so I chose my routes from the book, and my favorite climbs were in areas he told me were out of season but turned out fine. He was Facebooking the whole time and even made an (important) call while setting up a belay. He took plenty of pictures of himself but only one of me, when I specifically requested it. The posted charge was wrong, but by then I had already paid Explore-Share, and we ended up haggling on the hike out. He was a nice guy, he went to the areas I wanted, set up the routes, ticked the holds, and caught me, but this outfit needs to up their game on all the little things that separate a climbing partner from a climbing guide.

Toti was an amazing instructor. He took us to the right place for our skill set and also shared the tips to improve our climbing skills. Would definitely recommend for anyone traveling to Monserrat.
