Riglos – Multipitch climbingcamp

Riglos multipitch climbing camp - content of the climbingtrip

This climbing camp is an organized climbing trip, where we visit together the multipitch climbing destination of Riglos (Spain). We pick you up at the airport Barcelona, drive together to Riglos and climb for 4 days with you. As certified climbing guides we help you with planning and choosing the right route, bring you up to date with your multipitch skills and climb with you and the group during all the days. We plan to do a rest day in the middle of the week when we will practice rope rescue skills, go for a swim or just relax. The group will stay together in the local climbers hostel just below the walls of Riglos.

These are the skills you should bring for this trip:

  • You have already taken a multipitch course or bring experience in multipitch climbing. If you need a multipitch course, take a look over here: Multipitch Climbingcamp Siurana
  • Rappelling, building anchors and belaying a second should be known, but can be refreshed during the week.
  • To enjoy the routes in Riglos you should be able to climb 6a (french) routes. If you look for a trip with less demanding routes, check out our trip to Montserrat.
