fun and exciting - It was a really nice experience. Pablo was a funny and patient man, He helped us well and explained everything calmly. We have had several climbs on different climb levels and each climb a different view from the mountain. I would recommend it to everyone it is a special and fun experience in a beautiful setting.

Amazing climbing experience - We arrived in the morning and met Pablo just a short walk away from where we’d be climbing, it was our first real climbing experience and he was very patient, knowledgeable and motivating.
We were very nervous climbing our first route but Pablo was excellent and made sure we got to the top, even if we thought we couldn’t do it! We did 4 routes in total and spent 3-4 hours, beautiful views surrounded the area so some great opportunity for photos.
Pablo is really passionate about climbing and offered us some great tips, but he also offered advise about what to do in Valencia whilst we were visiting. It was a pleasure to meet Pablo and to climb with him, we can’t recommend him enough and we had an overall amazing time.

Excellent 3 day climbing in Montanejos - Really excellent trip with Pablo. Sort climbing was perfect for us - very testing but achievable. Fantastic last day on beautiful ( and quite tricky ) multi climb. Fantastic choice of pitches, instilled enthusiasm and belief, great at getting us up the pitches. We felt in very very good hands - and he is a super nice guy aswell. We had 3 totally excellent days. Thanks! PS i haven’t filled in stuff below as i do not understand Spanish!

Awesome time rock climbing in Valencia!! - We had an amazing weekend climbing with Valencia Climb! Pablo is a wonderful guide, skilled, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. It was our first time climbing outdoors and I couldn't think of a better experience. Pablo was helpful, but not condescending, very friendly, and genuinely loved helping us get better.
Pablo was also really great in communicating, making everything clear and easy, and getting us to and from the rocks quickly. On the admin side, sending the invoice, organising payment, everything was very smooth and professional.
He also got some great photos of us, which he very promptly shared, and then also gave us the names of the routes we climbed. Top quality!!
I would love to climb with Pablo again, whether that's in the UK or in Spain! Highly recommend for those keen to go climbing in Valencia :)

Once in a lifetime rock climbing around Calpe - We climbed with Pablo and Jorge during 3 days at different climbing spots around Calpe (Benidorm area).
We (4 adults and 5 children) have various climbing experience and both Pablo and Jorge turned out to be superb guides with a lot of humor and very good with children.
Unfortunately the first days were rainy and we couldn’t climb! Pablo was very proactive and suggested to postpone the climbing with a few days. Eventually, the rock climbing was perfect! Beautiful spots, fanatic routes and great views and a lot of fun!
We learned a lot of new techniques, did lead climbing, trained new tricks to pass difficult passages, discussed rope techniques. Pablo and Jorge stayed with us during the entire three days and two nights and in the evenings we had animated discussions, told stories, shared experiences and told jokes!
But above all, Pablo and Jorge are safe and perfectionistic instructors taking care of our children (and us).

Excellent sport climbing - Pablo was an amazing guide for two days introduction to sport climbing. He was encouraging and informative, enabling me to lead routes and second more challenging routes. The crag locations were beautiful and easily accessible from Valencia. Would definitely book another trip with Valencia climb.

Awesome! - Had an excellent time w Pablo. My family (kids age 9 and 13) had a tremendous experience. We've only been indoor climbing before this and our visit has encouraged us to go outdoors. We forgot to bring food and water so he kindly shared his sandwich and water w us. He tailored our climb to our skill level and didn't mind that when we asked for more walls.
Loved the experience so much that we booked him for a hike to Chullila and another climb 2 days later. We made a friend on our trip to Valencia.
Definitely recommend him, can't go wrong.

Great Guide for All Climbers - Pablo took me out to Alzira for the day and climbing there was amazing. Pablo is from the Valencia region, has been climbing there since his teenage years. As such, he is intimately familiar with the various places to go climb in the region, the differing styles that each site offers, as well as some nice routes at each particular site. What's more, he is very cognizant of the differing climbing abilities and can work to set up a trip for beginner to advanced climbers. Just let him know a little about your climbing experience and desires. He is very clear about climbing in as safe a manner as possible (rock climbing is a risky activity!) and is willing to answer any questions you may have about climbing or Valencia. The guide service is definitely worth utilizing.
