Kristin
Wow! I had the absolute best day imaginable climbing with Naïm. I am so glad I decided to book this adventure. It was a privilege to get to climb at Montserrat. Naïm is extremely knowledgeable and shared the areas fascinating history, geology, and culture. I am always a little afraid of heights and Naïm was very encouraging and helpful throughout. I can't recommend this experience enough. I will remember it for the rest of my life.

My husband and I had such an amazing trip with Toti. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent experience. He picked amazing routes that were perfectly suited for our abilities. I was able to do my first multi pitch climb and rappel under his excellent instruction. His advice on the wall and encouragement was excellent. He ensured we got as many climbs in as we could possibly do and had an amazing energy and friendly nature the entire time. He is a wealth of knowledge and I would recommend him to anyone. He is an incredibly experienced guide and climber and made us feel safe the entire experience. The value for price is exceptional. My husband and I had a fantastic experience.

I did a one day climbing trip out in Monserrat with Toti to learn how to sport climb outside for the first time and I had such an amazing time climbing with him. As a teacher for the Spanish national team he was able to impart so much of his expertise and improve my climbing by a degree I didnt think was possible in a single day. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and made me fall in love with Monserrat. I can’t wait to return to sport climbing in general Above all he’s a very dedicated and friendly person that made the entire process so enjoyable. High recommend!
