We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
You will climb in the Barranco de la Coladilla near Nerja, on pink conglomerate and siltstone about twenty metres high, which is a good shout in winter when the mountain crags feel cold. The holds are a mix of crimps, jugs and rounded pockets in the conglomerate, and we issue harness, helmet and shoes at the meet.
We meet near the sector, kit up and walk a short way into the dry riverbed to the wall. The session is about four hours, with several top-rope climbs and coaching on balance and feet rather than one hard route, in a calm group of up to six per guide.
Winters on this bit of the Málaga coast stay milder than the Sierra Nevada, so we use Nerja from late autumn into spring. On busy weekends we may start a little earlier so you have space at the base. After the climbing you are close to town if you want to wander, and we take digital photos during the session.
The Barranco de la Coladilla sits above Nerja, with pink conglomerate walls rising out of a dry riverbed and views along the ravine. It is a coastal day rather than a mountain one, which is why we use it when inland limestone is cold or in the shade.
Parking depends on the exact wall we use. A few days before we send a pin, a suggested arrival time and a note on the walk in, so you arrive in shoes that can handle a dry riverbed rather than city trainers.
You do not need to lead, and no outdoor experience is required. If you can walk on rocky ground, spend a few hours in a harness, and follow a simple briefing in English or Spanish, you will enjoy it.
Minimum age is 14. Mention whether you have climbed indoors before so we can set the first ropes at the right level. We adapt the difficulty to how you move on the day.
We spend a lot of our weeks on the limestone around Granada and the coast, teaching people who have never tied in outdoors. Your guide is a mountain guide who specialises in rock climbing, sets the ropes, and talks you through each climb in plain language, in English or Spanish.
Groups stay at six or fewer, so you get several goes and time to belay your partner as well. We take digital photos during the session, return the kit at the cars, and can point you to another local crag if you have a second day free.
We meet near the Barranco de la Coladilla, issue harness, helmet and shoes, and walk a short way into the dry riverbed to the wall. Your guide checks knots and belays before anyone ties in, and we may start a little earlier on busy weekends so you have space at the base.
You will climb several top-ropes on pink conglomerate and siltstone about twenty metres high, with crimps, jugs and rounded pockets. Coaching focuses on balance and feet rather than one hard route, in a group of up to six per guide, and we take digital photos during the session.
We take the ropes down, walk back and return borrowed kit. After the climbing you are close to town if you want to wander. The session is about four hours including the walk in and out.
Flexible clothing, sun protection, water and snacks for the duration. Approach shoes with grip suit most venues; bring a light waterproof and extra layer for mountain or coastal wind.
You need to be at least 14. We welcome complete beginners, and we are just as happy if you have climbed indoors and want your first proper day on rock around Nerja. The difficulty is adapted to how you move on the day.
Tell us a bit about your experience when you request a date. We will pick routes that fit you rather than guessing on the morning, and we will keep the briefing in English or Spanish as you prefer.
Most of our open dates are Saturdays and Sundays, which is how we usually run these days through the year. If one of those works, just request a place on that day and we will confirm the meet once it is accepted.
If you would rather go midweek, or only with your own friends, send us a date and how many of you there are. We will check a guide is free and get back to you by chat or email with the plan.
The activity itself is about 4 hours, plus a bit of time at the start for kit and the walk in to the sector. Lunch is a short stop with food you bring, except on indoor course days where we use the gym break.
Start times change with the season and the venue, because we chase shade in summer and sun in winter. Once your date is confirmed we will send the meet time, parking notes and what to bring.
You get a qualified mountain guide who specialises in rock climbing, plus harness, helmet and shoes where we issue them, and the ropes and hardware. Digital photos and videos of the day are included, and we are happy to advise on kit before you travel.
Meals, drinks, accommodation and getting yourself to the meeting point are down to you. Transport can sometimes be arranged separately if you ask ahead. Bring water and a snack that will last the session.
Wear clothes you can move in, with a layer for wind and a bit of sun cream. Trainers or approach shoes with grip are better than smooth soles, and we ask you not to come in flip-flops, sandals or clogs.
Pack at least a litre of water, a snack and a light waterproof. A 40 to 45 litre pack is useful on longer days. If you wear glasses, a strap stops them sliding when you look down, and a cap or sun hat helps on open limestone.
It depends on the exact sector near Nerja and the weather that week. We decide the pin and the arrival time in the days before, so we can use the rock that is in the best condition.
Granada days often start from Plaza Alta in Monachil or a crag car park a few minutes away. Coastal and Alicante routes use a meet point closer to that cliff, and we send clear directions once the date is accepted.
We need dry rock and sensible wind. If it looks poor, we will message you as early as we can and either move venue or look at another day, because forcing a session on wet limestone is not useful for anyone.
High Sierra Nevada faces are the fussiest, and leftover snow or strong wind can close them even in summer. We would rather shift the date than stand around in poor conditions at that height.
If you are happy walking on rocky paths and standing in a harness for a few hours, you will cope with the day. We adapt the routes to how you move, so you do not need a specific indoor grade before you come.
We keep groups to 6 people per guide, so you still get time on the rock and someone watching how you move. That ratio is how we run these days through the year around Nerja.
Yes. We issue a harness and helmet at the meet, plus climbing shoes or a ferrata lanyard if that is what the day needs. Tell us your shoe size if we ask for it.
You are welcome to use your own harness or helmet if it is CE marked. We will give it a quick check before we start.
Read the meet-time message and give yourself a few extra minutes for parking. A charged phone with the pin saved is enough.
When you book, tell us what you have climbed before. That helps us pick the right ropes and keep the day at a pace you will enjoy.
