Es hat superviel Spaß gemacht und die Kletterchoaches bringen einem alles sehr geduldig und verständlich bei, sodass ich mich jetzt vorbereitet fühle auch alleine draußen klettern zu gehen :)! Es gab über die Sicherungstechniken hinaus auch viele Tipps zum Verbessern der eigenen Klettertechnik. Die Aussichten in Siurana sind wunderschön und wir waren jeden Tag an einem neuen coolen Spot, wo für jeden Schwierigkeitsgrad immer etwas dabei warPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe an dem Kurs "Von der Kletterhalle an den Fels" teilgenommen. Eine große Auswahl verschiedener Kletterrouten in atemberaubender Natur und sehr sympathische und qualifizierte Kursleiter haben diese Kletterwoche zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Kann ich nur empfehlen!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. More than excellent experience. We asked for a guided multipitch. They proposed us a few climb option depending on our experience. The one selected was absolutely awesome. Marteen was very safe with us and explained what we had to know. He made sure to use enough chalk to show us some great holds. Marteen was really a nice person to meet and helped us to find great crag for the following days. I strongly recommend, if its for guided climb or different courses outside, Climbing Siurana is an absolute must.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marten ist ein fantastischer Kletterguide! Mit viel Geduld, Fachwissen und einer ruhigen, ermutigenden Art schafft er sofort Vertrauen.

Super recomendable, espero volver pronto!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such an incredible experience on my trip with Climbing Siurana. Dicha is by far one of the greatest coaches I could have ever wished for. I felt like I could learn quickly but calmly with her tutoring. I’ve walked away feeling confident and accomplished. I’m so grateful for the 5 days I’ve just spent climbing with Dicha and the group. Thank you so much 🙏🏻Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing climbing trip! I was in Priorat for wine touring and really wanted to get a climb in while I was in the area. I did a one day climb with Climbing Siurana and it was so good! Dicha was an excellent guide and knew the area very well. I highly recommend for anyone considering climbing in Siurana!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir waren beim Klettercamp Margalef dabei und hatten alle eine super Zeit. Wir sind täglich ausreichend zum Klettern gekommen und der Ruhetag in der Wochenmitte war unbedingt notwendig. Die Tipps von Marten und die Betreuung waren sehr wertvoll. Die Unterkunft im Refugi Margalef war einfach, aber gut, günstig und völlig unkompliziert. Insgesamt ist das Klettercamp sehr empfehlenswert.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience shared with great people! A perfect opportunity to climb in a wonderful area, while improving both climbing technique and mindset. Highly recommended!
