Margalef
The Venue
Margalef sits in the Montsant region of Catalonia, close to Siurana, and is one of Spain's clearest answers to the question of where to go for pocketed sport climbing with real depth. The rock is conglomerate: you pull on cobbles, pockets and edges, often on walls steeper than they first look.
The village is small and the climbing is spread across roughly eight broad zones, which in turn contain dozens of individually named sectors depending on how finely a source counts them. A car-based week lets you chase shade, sun and grade bands without wasting much energy.

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 equipped kitchen with a refrigerator in the place and close by shops to replenish supplies.

reasonalby tight climbing shoes / harness / helmet / belay device / 2 screw gate carabiners / 60cm sling
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.
We welcome beginner or intermediate climbers with issues leading. There is no previous experience required although we recommend you to hit local climbing gym few time before coming.
On the end for this week you will be confident to go and hit some cool single pitch sport climbs on your own.
This is a climbing trip and our number one goal is to maximize your time spent on the rock.
Worry free climbing vacation. Book your flights and leave the rest to us. We sort out all of the logistics for you.
