Rockbusters have joined forces with one of the world's best climbers Klemen Bečan to help you climb BETTER and HARDER. This camp is specially tailored for those searching for a big push to speed up their progress towards a better climbing technique, a more efficient mindset, and a harder grade. There is no better way to do so than in a group of motivated climbers sharing the same goals and being helped out by professional coaches and guides led by one of the best climbers in the world. Our team will make sure everybody gets what they need, not only through intensive one-on-one coaching on the crag but also through recording and analyzing your climbing performance.
We have set this coaching to Margalef, Spain. Margalef is one of the hottest sport climbing venues, not only in Spain but worldwide. Margalef rock is a conglomerate, not too solid but great anyway. Climbing here is quite peculiar as you mostly move between one, two, or three-finger pockets. There are also some slopers and crimps, and tufas can be found in some of the smaller sectors. There are great lines of all difficulties from f5 to f9, which is one of the reasons for Margalef’s popularity. On top of that, once you get used to the style, red pointing here seems less difficult than in other, more demanding areas. During these two weeks, we welcome all climbers searching to progress, from motivated novices to experts. With two guides/coaches, we can adjust our approach and coaching individually to your needs and will.
Maximum quality and quantity of climbing.
The Klemen Bečan Sport Climbing Performance Workshop follows the traditional Rockbusters format of informal masterclasses. Led by Klemen as the head coach, our experienced team will ensure that everyone climbs as much they can and gets all the coaching they need. We guarantee you will spend plenty of time on the rock, as well as listen to short, informal talks by Klemen.
Klemen Becan’s coaching focuses on precise footwork, correct balance, efficient movement, and mental aspects of your climbing which will help both your physical, technical and mental development as a climber. Whether you are a complete rookie or an experienced cranker, analyzing your movement patterns and attitude will instantaneously boost your skills and help you break through any plateau.
Whatever your level, with plenty of time to practice newly learned techniques, you will increase your confidence and perform better than ever. After just one week of coaching, you head home with a completely new, advanced skillset. The aim of our Sport Climbing Performance Workshop is to allow you to learn from the best and use their well-tested techniques to progress your climbing.
Here’s a little look at what to expect from us:
Focusing on footwork, you will learn to find balance and use the most efficient and effective ways to propel your body up the rock without wasting energy. You will learn how to work with friction, make delicate steps, and calculate technical moves.
You’ll develop and practice skills to help you handle climbing steeper rock faces. We will cover footwork and techniques such as drop knees, heel, and toe hooks. A lot of time will be dedicated to the fine art of resting while climbing, as well as fighting “the pump”, both mentally and physically.
Climbing onsight and projecting more difficult lines differs both physically and mentally. Klemen Bečan will cover the most effective strategies for success while onsighting or working a route over many days. You will have plenty of time to practice these and internalize the new skills.

As well as building confidence, strength and taking on some tough climbs, this is a Rockbusters course, so you can also expect a hefty dose of fun! We love what we do and that really comes across in all of our trips and programs. And… we like to party almost as much as we like to climb, so get ready to have a blast on and off the rock. The informal, fun atmosphere of our courses is famous, but we never let this distract us from your climbing progression.

We provide most of the gear, but you will need to bring your own climbing shoes and harness. We have belay devices, slings, and helmets, but you might prefer to bring your own you use to. We strongly suggest bringing a down jacket, a hat, a rain jacket, a pair of comfortable approach shoes, a headlamp, a sleeping bag, and a backpack big enough for carrying lunch and gear to the crag.
