Highlights
This Sierra de Guara 1+day rock climbing course for beginners will teach the basics of this activity!
Sport climbing is one of the many possible forms of rock climbing. Its main characteristic is that it relies on anchors permanently fixed to the rock, this way you are protected during the whole climb. Sport climbing is also about strength, gymnastic ability and technique putting the risk a bit aside.
To master this activity you’ll need to coordinate your body movements using hands and feet, plus be able to choose the best way to climb up.
That’s why I’ve designed this open program, so you can decide how many days you want to spend learning this incredible sport, which will change your life perspective!
We’ll start learning all about the gear -security anchors and grips- and the basic body movements to be safe during the climb. And as the days go by I’ll show you different techniques to deal with different situations.
I believe that Sierra de Guara is a perfect place to learn this activity, but there are also great spots in Catalonia or Mallorca, so you can let me know where you prefer to do it.
So send me a request for this rock climbing course and let me know for how many days you’ll like to stay, and I’ll show you the first steps of this incredible sport!

About the Guide
I've been having a strong passion for outdoor sports for over 15 years. In the last 5 years, I've been working as a professional guide specialized in climbing and canyoning. My favourite is rock climbing, it doesn't matter the style (sport, trad, dws, bouldes, single or multipitch routes) the importat thing is climb high. As a native Mallorcan, Psicobloc or Deep Water Soloing, is in his genes. While he has a deep appreciation for the crags of Mallorca, Catalonia and Aragon, he has also climbed in Morocco, Turkey, Italy, France, Slovenia, Croatia, Tajikistan and China.

What People are Saying about Carlos Vidal Arque
It was an awesome trip and a good first exposure to climbing in Spain! For some in our group, it was their first time to climb outdoors and Carlos provided great advice for transitioning from indoor to outdoor climbing. For me, I got a lot of useful tips on how to be more effective and to improve my technique outdoors. I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a great guide and a fun time out on the rocks!

It was excellent, Carlos is very knowledgable, we felt secure at all times and very fun, climbing Sol-Solet Montserrat was an excellent experience that I hope to do again. Communication prior to the trip was great with Carlos every time, he gave us good options from the start and gave us the tranportation info. Everything was excellent, fun, great and adventurous just like me and my wife hoped for, thank you for everything. We hope to do it again soon. Saludos.

Carlos is an excellent climbing instructor. Not only he has amazing climbing skills but he may be the best belayer in the world;)).
He is also a great teacher, very knowledgeable, adapts to different skill levels, puts extra homework into finding routes and activities that are challenging yet enjoyable. There were two of us, with different skill levels and he managed to set up activities in a way that we have got the most of every minute. regarding the commucation: he was very quick to respond, was inquiring about what we want to get out of the trip and based.on this recommended the agenda. A very lovely guy overall. After a bit of quizzing I\'ve learned that he climbed with some big names from Spain and UK. Oh, and he has a great crag dog - as him to bring her along:)

Carlos is the best mountain guide around. He was obviously very experienced and has been climbing for many years. I like how we were constantly learning under his supervision. He was also flexible in every way. I, as a pretty beginner climber, was able to enjoy the routes he took us on just as much as my friend, an intermediate climber. He was knowledgeable of the area and knew all the best climbing spots. 11/10 would recommend!

The three days that Carlos and I spent together have been a very constructive experience. He is a easy going person who has a good skill for sharing his knowledge. In this way you believe his assumptions and you practice his exercises because you understand the reason behind them. On the top of this he knows very well all the spots and routes in every sector. Highly recommended.

Carlos is an excellent guide. He carefully structured the trip and was also flexible enough to adapt over the 3 days we spent together. He worked effectively with me to achieve my goals.
Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my day of multi-pitch climbing with Carlos. He is extremely knowledgeable about climbs in the area, climbing technique, and about its history and culture as well. He tailored the session to meet all the goals I wanted to reach, and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout. I highly recommend him as a guide!

Carlos is an excellent guide. He taught and helped us move up in skill. Carlos suggested multiple crags and what he thought would be appropriate and fun for us.
Explore share was an easy company schedule our adventure. The website itself was a bit difficult to manage at the final point of booking . Otherwise I would given 5s all around.
Thanks for a great event.

Explore-share service was just what we needed. Hooking us up with a qualified guide that knows the area is invaluable when you are traveling out of country. I will use your service again!

Spending the day with Carlos was great! he\'s a great climbing coach and a super nice guy. He taught us a ton of tricks and we reviewed all the safety infos, but little by little he gave us more and more freedom, which also gave us the confidence we needed. All in all it was a great experince.

I went climbing with Carlos for 2 days in Montserrat and Pared de les Baggases. Carlos was not only a very skilled rock climbing guide (route finding, safety, etc) but as also very pleasant and social to be with (he speaks very good English). He took his time to also talk about the surroundings and history of the climbs we made. I highly recommend to go climbing with Carlos!

Had a great day climbing with Carlos. He\'s knowledgeable about, and devoted to, the sport. I only had a single day during my trip to Spain to climb and was looking to get on some of the best sport routes in the area - and Carlos did not disappoint. As a guide he was skilled and safe, ensuring that we had a shared understanding of the safety systems. As a climbing partner he was insightful in recommending routes, providing beta, and the softest of catches. We chatted the whole time about the sport and the industry and the various features of routes. Highly recommend Carlos as a climbing guide if you\'re in the Barcelona area and I will definitely look him up again next time I\'m in Spain without a belay.

Carlos is awesome! He was extremely responsive after booking and tailored a trip to fit our level and interests. He helped us manage logistics (places to stay, where to meet), and was prompt each day picking us up. Carlos knows the area and guided us to gorgeous routes at our level. This area has legendary sport climbing, which we only had limited gym experience with. Carlos led at first, but taught us to lead by the end! He also took & shared great photos of the trip! Highly recommended!
