EASTER CLIMBING KALYMNOS | professional guiding and coaching

At Easter we all get some time off but most people spend it doing little else than stuffing their faces with chocolate. But this could be the perfect opportunity to crank some of Europe’s best crags. It definitely beats getting indigestion.

The Rockbusters Easter Climbing Camp is your chance to get out on the face during your holidays. Our destination is Kalymnos and there is no need for more words. There are hundreds of sport routes and slabs to crank. And at this time of year you’ll find some really peaceful and empty crags to climb.

Climb as much as you want and we’ll provide you with our expert one-on-one video and photo analysis. If you’ve already got a bit of climbing experience and are looking to take it to the next level then this is the perfect time to do it.

Our Easter camp focuses on:

Slab/vertical ground to improve footwork and climbing efficiency
Balance and foot placement to develop better technique for more confident climbing (leading comfortably F5 or more)
Overhangs and steep sections to develop strength and confidence (leading comfortably F6c or more)
On-sight/red point aimed at climbers who are confident enough with their balance, footwork and have already acquired the basics of climbing technique

On the course we try to focus on more challenging routes working towards leading F6c and above, as well as red point and on-sight attempts.

All Rockbusters camps are dedicated to climbing but we also have a great time off the rock. Come with us and you get the whole climbing experience, both during the day and at night, when we enjoy kicking back and relaxing. We love to welcome new guests and try to make everyone feel like part of the family.

For this trip there is minimum of 3 participants necessary. In case there is not enough people there is alternative trip in Spain we are more than happy to move you in. Of course we can will compensate the price difference and partially your extra travel expanses if required.

What you need to know

We welcome intermediate to expert climbers with issues to lead. There is not much previous experience required although we recommend you to climb at least indoor regularly.
On the end for this week you will be fed up by climbing but hungry for more in the same time. Of course you can expect cool progress and confidence boost.
This is a climbing trip and our number one goal is to maximize your time spent on the rock.
Worries free climbing vacation. Book your flights and leave rest to us. We sort out all logistics for you.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

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