Description

Welcome 2023 in the picturesque seaside town of Leonidio, Greece on a unique rock climbing adventure in Greece!

We will enjoy the sunshine, beautiful climbing routes on orange rock, and a memorable New Year's Eve celebration with new rock climbing friends!

Leonidio is a small seaside town, located in Peloponnese, just three hours by car from Athens. It emerges from two facing mountains, and in between them, the river Daphnon separates the picturesque village in two. The area holds more than 1,700 routes on highly-featured limestone. The climbing is enjoyable and varied: tufa columns, smooth crimpy walls, caves with stalactites, and orange balance walls are part of the fun.

On this tour, we will focus both on enjoying the climbing and on improving your movement repertoire and mental approach to climbing, teaching you how to move efficiently on the rock!

The tour includes 5 days of climbing with coaching, and two days to rest and do sightseeing in between. Additionally, you can enjoy an exciting New Year's Eve party at a local restaurant.

This amazing Leonidio rock climbing adventure is suitable for complete beginners and up to 6c+ climbers (8- UIAA)

⦁ Technique for more efficient climbing: back-step , drop-knee, high step, gaston, inside flag, outside flag, toe-hook, heel-hook, smearing.

Rock Climbing Instructor

We are 2 certified rock climbing instructors from Romania who wish to share our passion for rock climbing and the outdoor!

We organize Rock climbing holidays & courses- in Greece, Spain, Turkey , Germany, Romania - as well as gym courses in Bucharest.

Our first climbing students were our own friends (back in 2010) and then many more friends came along on our trips. We discovered that we enjoy teaching just as much as we love climbing and then started to dream of ways in which we could meet new people and have fun alongside them, enjoying their first experiences on the rock as if they were our own!

We have created Abc Climbing in 2017 and have been sharing our love and knowledge of climbing since!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
