What the day feels like
How the session unfolds
Over a focused two‑hour session you’ll be introduced to sport climbing on routes at the Cantera de Villamarxant: instructors fit and check CE/UIAA‑rated harnesses and helmets, teach basic ropework and belaying, and guide each participant on climbs while the rest of the group watches and practises. Bring a picnic to eat at the base of the routes so you can maximise climbing time; at the end you receive free photos of the outing via a downloadable transfer.
