FAQs

CAN I COME ON MY OWN?

Yes, of course, you can. The beauty of a Rockbusters trip is that you will make new climbing friends worldwide.

IS THE TRIP GUARANTEED?

A majority of our trips and camps are guaranteed. There are some coaching courses requiring min. amount of participants, see info for each date or check directly with us. We are happy to answer all of your questions.

HOW DO I GET THERE?

You will travel to the airport. From there, transportation from the airport is organized via shared rental cars. For the Europe climbing trip, we offer free transport in our support vehicles.

IS ACCOMMODATION AND LOCAL TRANSPORT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?

Officially we cannot include it in the price as we are not a travel agency. But we do offer basic accommodation FREE OF CHARGE and we help to organize local transport by shared rental cars or shuttles.

WILL SOMEONE PICK ME UP FROM THE AIRPORT?

Depending on the trip location, you will either be picked up from the airport or at an agreed-upon location. There is no need to worry, typically there are other clients that have been on the trip before that will know their way around. Note, however, that for the Europe climbing trip, the Rockbusters team will do the pick-ups.

CAN I EXTEND MY TRIP?

Of course. We will be more than happy if you do so.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SKILL REQUIREMENT FOR THIS TRIP?

We highly recommend at least minimum experience with rock climbing (outdoor or indoor) before booking any Rockbusters climbing course or trip so you know what you are getting into.

100€ to 150€ should be enough.

WHAT DOES ROCKBUSTERS SUPPLY? WHAT GEAR DO I NEED TO BRING?

For the trip, you will need to bring reasonably tight climbing shoes. We also recommend taking your personal climbing gear like a harness, helmet, belay device, chalk bag, etc., that you are used to. It will be more comfortable for you. Good approach shoes and a backpack to carry some climbing gear, extra clothes, food, and water will be helpful. A light and warm jacket and a headlamp will be useful as well.

What people are saying about Rockbusters

This trip was falsely advertised to a group of people who are not a group of climbers. The number of people to the number of guide was not proportion: 15 people to 2 guides. They did not take into consideration that everyone on the trip may not climb the same grades and picked cliffs that only contained advanced routes. As a fairly strong climber myself, I found it difficult to keep up with the rest of the group. And for accommodations, no company prepared us for what we were about to walk into. We understood the accommodations were not going to be luxurious, but we walked into essentially a camping trip without the proper gear. We were not prepared or told to bring camping gear or the basics like hand soap, bowls/plates/utensils. One of the most frustrating things about the trip was communication. There was not proper communication between the local guides and us on the kind of approaches and length and proper footwear. And while we understand that we are at the mercy of the weather for most of the DWS, plans were not expressed timely to our group so it often felt like a scramble to know where/when/what time things were to occur. Overall, poor planning and management. But as a fellow climber, I did enjoy myself and enjoyed trying DWS. I would go back to Mallorca for DWS, but would not book through Rockbusters and/or ExploreShare

Mallorca is beautiful but this trip is misadvertised and was poorly organized. The description says suitable for all skill levels and the FAQ says some climbing experience is beneficial but that there’s a wide range of routes suitable for beginners. This was untrue as the trip was heavily catered towards experienced climbers with essentially no beginner friendly routes. We also only had one local guide for 14 climbers, who was great, but unable to provide much individualized guidance as there were so many of us. In terms of trip organization and accommodations, Jany from Rockbusters was supposed to be in charge but provided few details. I asked if we needed to bring bedding and the response was “there should be some sheets.” In reality, the accommodations were at a campsite where you needed to bring everything you’d need for camping, yet we were not told this. It didn’t even have soap to wash your hands with. A group of us ended up scrambling and getting an Airbnb instead. We were not told any type of schedule ahead of time for climbing or that there’d be an off day where we could explore on our own. Would not recommend using Rockbusters.

I had an unforgettable women’s climbing week in Rodellar, Spain with Rockbusters. Our guides were knowledgeable and encouraging, and took extra time to work on specific skills of interest to the group. They were very patient and flexible, so we had input on where to climb each day and they were happy to stay out as late as we had the energy to go. It was an amazing group of people gathered in a beautiful location and my climbing skill + confidence took a huge leap in that week. I am truly grateful to Daila & Julieta for sharing their passion with us- they are kickass climbers without the ego.

Skilful and great coaches you have a lot of fun with, amazing locations. They really helped me to improve my mental game and to become a better, more self-confident climber. Big recommendation!
