If you are looking for your first step in bouldering outdoor or for technique coaching, this course is the one. No matter if you a starting boulderer or rope climber.

Test your skills to the limit without the hassle of a harness. With technical slabs, big overhangs or highballs, and no worries about doing yourself serious damage if you deck out, this course is a great way to build your skills in a top location. All you need is pair of climbing shoes and yor chalk bag!

Albarracin is one of the top spots for anyone who’s boulder-mad. Join us for one of our epic Rockbusters bouldering trips and you’ll get to take on some of Europe’s best sandstone. There are big roofs, overhangs and high balls aplenty, as well as slabs of all grades. And if you deck out, it’s never a big drop.

We can’t mention Albarracin without talking about the stunning scenery. This place is simply incredible and a killer backdrop to it’s world-class boulders. So, if you’re tired of being tied up with ropes and harnesses, get yourself to Albarracin with Rockbusters and fall in love with climbing all over again.
