PROJECT X:
SEND & WORK
Two weeks in Rodellar built around exactly one outcome: clipping the chains on the hardest route of your life. Mornings on the rock, afternoons on your laptop, zero wasted mileage.

Stop chasing random mileage and start hunting milestones. If you've been stuck at the gates of the 7s, or staring down your first 8a, a standard week-long trip won't cut it — you need total immersion, focused coaching, and enough time for the muscle memory to actually sink in.
Two weeks under Rodellar's massive limestone arches means the luxury of time: time to blow a redpoint burn, dial the micro-beta, rest your skin, watch the video back, and eventually clip the chains for real.
Afternoons and rest days, you plug into fast WiFi and keep your career moving. This is a dedicated ecosystem built for one specific outcome: sending.

Real Rock, Real Sends
Burns, Beta
& Zero Wasted Days
No stock photos, no staged sends — just climbers earning it under Rodellar's massive arches.
The 7a/7b Gatekept Climber
You're technically capable but stuck right at the threshold. What you need isn't another single week of mileage — it's sustained, pressure-managed time.
The Remote Worker Who Refuses to Choose
You want career momentum and a genuine project send in the same two weeks, not one sacrificed for the other. Fast WiFi means you don't have to pick.
The Redpoint Tactician
You want to actually learn how to project — sectioning, beta breakdown, energy management — not just get mileage and hope for the best.

- Advanced 3D movement: drop-knees, heel & toe hooks, flagging
- Precision kneebar tactics for steep terrain
- Footwork & core tension when the pump sets in

- Trusting microscopic footholds on overhanging rock
Mental Game
- Project selection & strategy for your strengths
- Razor-sharp focus & handling redpoint frustration
- Breaking through the barriers holding you back
- Managing energy across a multi-week campaign
- Handling the pressure of the "send go"
Tactics

Rodellar, Spain
The Venue
Rodellar is the steep, overhanging capital of Spanish sport climbing — massive limestone arches, tufas, and stalactites carved by the Río Mascún. It's physical, athletic climbing that rewards good tactics and solid head-games over raw strength alone.
That combination makes it the ultimate training ground for unlocking your first 7a, 7b, or 8a — exactly the terrain this camp is built around.

Results
What Past Climbers Say
Two weeks was exactly what I needed. I sent my first 8a on day eleven and still got my actual job done every single afternoon.
Having someone film every burn and actually explain what my feet were doing wrong changed everything. I'll never project the same way again.
Rest days built into the schedule felt like cheating at first. Turns out that's literally how you send hard routes. Who knew.

FAQ
Common Questions
What level do I need to be?
A baseline redpoint grade of at least 6c to get the most out of this terrain. This camp is built for established sport climbers targeting their first 7a, 7b, or 8a — get in touch if you're unsure whether it's the right fit.
Do I need my own gear?
Bring climbing shoes and a harness you trust. We provide belay devices, helmets, and slings, but a screw-gate carabiner of your own is worth packing. Full kit list sent once you book.
Is food included?
Food is self-catering — supplies can be purchased any time during your stay, and there's a kitchen at the accommodation.
How does the work/climb balance actually work?
Expect 10–12 climbing days across the two weeks, with the rest built in as recovery and remote-work time. Fast WiFi is provided, and the schedule is structured so your career and your project both get real attention.
What if fewer than 3 people book?
We need a minimum of 3 participants to run the camp. If numbers don't add up, we'll offer an equivalent (or better) alternative trip, or a full refund. No hard feelings.
Where do I fly in and out of?
Barcelona, for both arrival and departure.
