"The opportunities to undertake major first ascents and to explore a little known mountain range during the winter months in perfect weather will certainly make the Mountains of the Costa Blanca one of the rock climbing playgrounds of the future. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen." Comments made in 1970 by Denis Gray ex President of the BMC.

This area is an amazing paradise for rock climbing, mountaineering and outdoor pursuits.

Our courses and holidays in Spain take place in this very playground in the South Eastern Sierras, situated between Valencia and Murcia. With it's easy access by flights from the U.K and Northern Europe. This area has one of the, if not the, best winter climates in Europe (Average Temp: Dec - March 70F/22C). It is ideal for those who long to get away from the inhospitable climate of our Northern winters which inhibits climbing so much. Having reliable weather is a pre-requirment for a successful completion of any climbing programme.

Climbing in the Costa Blanca is on superb Limestone crags and mountains. The climbing takes place on road side crags of up to five hundred feet and on mountain routes of 3,000 feet plus. These mountains are of Dolomite proportions This variety makes the area ideal for teaching beginners basic skills and for coaching the experienced climber more advanced skills. It also makes it excellent for those choosing the selected weeks for long multi pitch Mountain Rock Courses.

The beauty and variety of this area makes an ideal setting for our Multi Activity courses; including mountain biking, walking & scrambling

We have been organising courses in this area since 1982 and are the foremost authority on this region. We have explored and discovered many new areas for climbing and mountaineering and have climbed over 200 new routes, (many over 300 meters) This knowledge we make good use of to take our students onto the more remote crags and mountains far away from the usual crowds found on most European crags. Our vast experience of this area will guarantee you climb in the most beautiful areas.
