Women’s climbing course with Daila Ojeda, a leading female climber

WOMEN ONLY CLIMBING coached by Daila Ojeda

29.05.2021 - 12.06.2021

Our women’s rock climbing course is designed to provide a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment for female climbers. This event, led by Daila Ojeda, takes place in a top sport climbing destination in Europe. You can learn from one of the world’s best female climbers.

Women can and do climb as hard as men. Possessing different strengths from men, as well as some physical characteristics, female climbers may require specific instructing and climbing betas. Our women only climbing courses aim to prove that raw strength isn’t everything. Here women focus on discovering what their bodies are really capable of, and how far they can get with the use of precise footwork, increased flexibility, and good mind control. Eventually developing into a stronger climber.

Daila Ojeda is known not only for her extremely difficult ascents, but also for her inspirational attitude and mindset. Although pro climbers rarely contribute their time to coaching, Daila loves giving back to the community by running women climbing courses and workshops. In collaboration with Rockbusters, she has led many great trips and helped lots of female climbers reach the next level in their climbing.

Our female rock climbing course takes place in the climbing mecca of Siurana, a quaint medieval village surrounded by a seemingly unending amount of tall, orange limestone cliffs begging to be climbed. The views are breathtaking and the climbing community unmatched. Women of all ages and abilities are welcome and our dedicated coaches Daila, Petra and Juli are here to challenge you while ensuring you enjoy every step of the journey. This unique experience provides the opportunity to build relationships, connect and climb with other awesome women rock stars that love every minute they spend on the rock.

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.

FOOD

Upon arrival before you get to the place of your final destination you will need to stop in the store to shop for breakfast and lunch food for the week. Usually there is equiped kitchen with refrigerator in the place and close by shops to replenish supplies.

There are plenty restaurants and bars in to have dinner. Communal dinners can be organized if required.

More info will be provided after booking/inquiring!

Accommodation

There is a basic shared accommodation organized by Rockbusters (15€ - 25€ a night). Our main goal is to integrate you into the local climbing communities and for these purposes we use local climbing hostels, cottages, campsites or places run by local climbers. Feel free to reach out to adjust these settings to your personal satisfaction.
