Euro Hot Rockin’

Ditch those damp UK blues and go Mediterranean.
Superb sports and Trad climbing in amazing places - hot rock, great evenings in the sunshine, a glass of red wine to savour as you plan your next great location.
Cheap flights, lovely villa accommodation, cheap hire cars, it just leaves the leading - to me, or you to gain that needed confidence on the sharp end but in perfect safety.

Costa Blanca

We aim to be based in Sella - from which the whole of the Costa Blanca is available.

Fly to Alicante - be picked up in our hire car - an hour and a half later you will be transported into Spanish village life with fantastic limestone crags nearby and plenty of options (El Penon, Toix West,  Barraco de Mascarat Gorge, Campana and more... ) to drive to if the mood takes you. The choice is huge - roadside crags of 500 foot to mountain routes of 3000 feet.

Course content: all basics from knots to belays and abseils, multi pitch climbs, advice and use of all equipment. Depending on your own climbing level and confidence you can learn to lead climb as well- all in great sunshine!

Number on course: minimum of 2, maximum of 6.

Costs: £480 for 6 days climbing plus your flights and accommodation

See our Costa Blanca climbing page for more details.
