Angela
I am so grateful Oriol took a chance to be my guide for this experience! He was great from start to finish. He suggested various options to ensure this experience would go ahead for me, as it was to be a real highlight of my trip- though the weather forecast didn’t appear to be cooperating! In the end it was a memorable day..with not a single drop of rain! He was very knowledgeable about the area and overall a genuinely good man! I felt very comfortable with him throughout my climbing experience. I may have liked to stretch my ability a little more once I got a feel for the area, but all in all, I was just so appreciative for the day. This just means I’ll be back for more! Thank you! I would definitely recommend!

Toti is an amazing guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a 10/10 experience. He was very knowledgeable on the areas history and very professional.

I had an incredible climbing day with Oriol as my guide, and I can't recommend him enough! Despite the rainy weather across Catalonia, Oriol knew exactly where to go and took the time to drive me to some hidden dry spots so I could still enjoy a full day on the rocks. His knowledge of the area and local weather patterns was impressive, and he put so much thought into making sure we had the best experience possible. Oriol was not only a top-notch climbing guide but also a great conversationalist. We talked about everything—from climbing techniques to local culture and just life in general. It felt like spending the day with a good friend who genuinely cared about making it special. If you're looking for a guide who goes above and beyond, Oriol is the one!

Super awesome climbing trip. The guide Oriol (Ori) is super kind and so supportive. I dropped my phone down below and he drove me to Manresa to get my phone fixed. He is super awesome guide and will take a very good care of you the whole climbing trip. I have super fantastic experience climbing in Montserrat with Ori’s guiding. Ask for him if you’re about to go climb in Montserrat. I couldn’t thank him enough. It was extremely fun, safe and enjoyable!!
