Trip Gallery
Indoor climbers moving outside
You climb regularly indoors and want to turn gym strength into confident outdoor sport climbing.
Outdoor climbers stuck at a grade
You need real-time feedback on movement, tactics and head game, not another season of the same.
Climbers who want a real climbing week
Maximum time on rock, logistics sorted, and a small group of motivated people to climb with.
Solo climbers looking for partners
No climbing partner for the holiday? Join the group: you share the routes, the rental car and the rest days with people at your level.
Friends and couples at different levels
Coaching adapts to each climber, so everyone gets the right routes and the right push, whatever the difference in grades.
Not sure you're ready?
Everyone is welcome, as long as you accept that not everything will be built around you. If you have never climbed outdoors, Sport Climbing Basics is built entirely around learning to climb and lead on rock.

Max 7 climbers per coach
1 or 2 weeks: join week 1, week 2 or both

FAQ
Common Questions
What level do I need for the Sport Climbing Camp?
You should climb regularly, at least indoors, lead belay safely and have a basic single-pitch sport climbing safety base. You don't need to lead yourself: improving your lead is part of the coaching.
Can complete beginners join?
Everyone is welcome, but the camp isn't built around beginners. If you have never climbed outdoors, Sport Climbing Basics is the better fit: it is built entirely around learning to climb and lead on rock.
How many climbers are there per coach?
A maximum of 7 climbers per coach.
Can I join just one week of a two-week camp?
Yes. Most camps run for 2 weeks and you can join week 1, week 2 or both.
Is transport included?
No. After booking we connect participants to share rental cars from the main arrival airport. It is the most flexible and economical option, tested over 20 years of Rockbusters trips.
What gear do I need to bring?
Your own personal climbing gear: climbing shoes, harness, helmet and belay device. If you don't have it, we can provide it on request if you tell us in advance. We provide ropes and quickdraws.
Is there a rest day?
There is no fixed rest day, but we highly recommend taking one. The group agrees on it during the week depending on the weather and how everyone feels.
What about food?
Food is not included. Breakfast and lunch are self-catered in equipped kitchens, and we can organise common dinners for the group in local bars and restaurants.
Can you run a Sport Climbing Camp somewhere else or on other dates?
Yes. We can organise the camp at any crag and on any dates for your group. Send us an inquiry with where and when.
