Mastering your mind & movement with Coach Tess & Physio Pablo
For us, rock climbing is about much more than ticking grades and reaching the top. It’s about challenge and personal growth, mastery of mind and movement, experiencing the magic of flow, and most of all, having fun together out there! We truly believe that a more holistic and personalized approach to climbing will elevate your climbing experience to new heights in a sustainable way.

For who
We approach every climber as a unique individual with their own journey to explore. Whether you’re an experienced climber seeking to deepen your practice or an intermediate climber eager to learn, our retreat offers value for you.
We adopt the requirement of climbing min 6b lead on rock, as Siurana starts mostly from that grade. Besides, participants should master the outdoor single-pitch basic climbing techniques, including lead climbing, dynamic belaying and setting anchors.
To guarantee a high quality retreat involving personal coaching, we allow maximum 8 climbers.

The online moment will last about 1 hour and will be scheduled based on the availability of participants (somewhere mid October).
