Overview

Come and enjoy the stunning—and often forgotten—granite of the Pyrenees. Cavallers, in the heart of the Boi Valley, is one of the best places to get a real feel for Pyrenean granite. But it’s not just about climbing. This quiet valley also offers delicious local food and beautiful Romanesque architecture that we’ll take time to enjoy. Over the course of the week, we’ll take things step by step—starting with the basics of sport climbing safety and gradually moving toward an introduction to multi-pitch climbing on granite. It’s all about building confidence and climbing calmly. We’ll meet the afternoon before in the Boi Valley, where we’ll be based for the week. You’ll be staying in cozy full-board accommodation, and we’ll kick things off with a warm welcome and a first look at the valley’s incredible landscape.

Widely recognized as one of the top climbers of his generation, Martín has made a name for himself with bold first ascents in some of the world’s most remote mountain ranges.

Info

Thanks to KooKoo climb for organising an epic trip in Costa Blanca,Spain!! There were so many sport climbing crags to choose from with mixture of leading and seconding as suited, the guides found some in shade even in June the warm months it was possible to climb most of the day. One day of climbing in a costal sea cave was really incredible, and the multipitch on Pechon Il Fach was spectacular!! Food by cook Yessica and the accommodation in Abdet great too 👍💪🙏
