Epic stag do fun on the Via Ferrata Baumes Corcades! Silvi did an amazing job organising the trip and even sorted a bus to & from Barcelona for 18 guys. Juan and Abi were great coaches and tailored the day to different abilities in the group. Thank you so much!! Will be back for some trad climbing courses closer to home at Silvi’s Snowdonia set up!

We went rock climbing with Silvia and her team a couple of times and now we are hooked 👏 such a great experience of being outdoors, in a beautiful nature, doing something so fun! These guys are real professionals, they choose a location that fits your level, they consider the weather conditions and can easily adapt if they see you do well or need something easier. I highly recommend this team. Silvia, Mickey, Joe 👏👏

I had the best three days with Silvia and am so glad I found her as an instructor during my stay in El Chorro. She helped me build the confidence and the foundational skills I needed to make the leap from indoor bouldering to outdoor climbing. She adapts all her tips to your specific climbing style and is overall a very fun person to learn from. I could not recommend Silvia more, whether you are new to outdoor climbing or looking to perfect your technique. Muchas gracias Silvia !

I have just spent 2 days with Silvi, from the Rock Climbing Company, refreshing learned climbing skills and learning new ones.I started rock climbing with Silvi a few months ago, when I did a 4 day course, learning from the very beginning.I had never done any rockclimbing before and I loved it.I spent 4 days learning all the skills you need to start climbing independently.I practised some of them in a climbing gym when I went back to Finland.I returned to Spain to spend the rest of the winter and I decided to do a 2 day ‘refresher’ course, to ensure I was capable of going climbing by myself safely and independently.This time, on day 1, I did some lead climbing, managing top anchors and top rope some more difficult climbs.I also climbed a Via ferrata, and Sílvia taught me the ropes technique to do this by myself, too.On the day 2, we concentrated on movement skills and footwork on harder climbs, as well as a refresher on how to abseil safely.Silvia chose the venues, according to the weather and she got it perfectly right.On day 1, we went to the mountains of Villanueva Del Rosario with excellent weather.On day 2, we went to Pinares de San Anton very close to the coast, getting the best learning conditions on both days.Although I took part in an open group, the ratio was low and Silvia made sure each of us got tailored and individual teaching. She chose the content of the course, according to our aspirations and level of experience.I highly recommend Silvi & the Rock Climbing Company to anyone who wants to learn from the beginning or wish to improve their climbing skills.

Family of 4 just back from a fantastic 2 day outdoor climbing course with rock climbing company in Malaga. I really can't praise Silvia highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable and happy to pass this on as well as her knowledge of the local areas. She is patient while also knowing when to gently push your limits to help you achieve more. None of us had any outdoor climbing experience and from the start Silvia made us all feel comfortable, as we learned new skills. I would definitely recommend Silvia and we will hopefully be back sometime soon.
