FAQs

What climbing equipment should I bring with me?

I would suggest a different venue where the weather might be better. Another option will be to select another day according to your and my availability.

Jane

Had a day to climb while visiting Lisbon, spent the day at 2 crags near Sesimbra, it was amazing! The views were incredible, I felt very safe with the guide - I'm a sport climber recovering from an injury and hadn't climbed outdoors in 3 months, so he was very understanding and let me ease back into leading, and put up some harder routes for me to try. Overall, highly recommend!

Luís was the most wonderful guide, relaxed yet safe, so friendly and generous in sharing his knowledge and experience. Learning to lead climb with him and experiencing the beauties of cascais forest and sea cliffs was such a gift. Thank you!

Our instructor Luis was fantastic and he facilitated a wonderful and memorable day climbing around Sintra. His professional yet relaxed manner allowed us to feel comfortable and focus on the climbing. He listened to our prior experience, which was a mix, and planned the day around that. However he left plenty of choice to us and allowed us to pick our routes, he even offered to drive us to another area to check some new spots out. He also spent time coaching us on the different belay devices we might not of touched before as well as educating us further on the sport of climbing. When he felt we could push harder he spoke up and offered some much needed advice and motivation at times. Pushing us just beyond what we thought our limits were for the day. If it was an option I’d give the day 11/10 as it went beyond our expectations. We will be back!
