Altius Aventua, Cantabria, Spain
5.0 (3 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Torrelavega Canyoning & Rappelling Tours • Climbing Tours
Great Climbing Guide in Northern Spain
We were in the region for a wedding and wanted to do so climbing. We found Sergio's company Altius Aventura using Google and we arranged a day of climbing with him. The day before our climbing it was pouring rain all day and then the morning of climbing it was still pouring so I was sure it would be canceled. However Sergio met us as planned at a Respol gas station outside of Santander. He spoke great English and explained that the places he was going to take us were wet, but we could drive an hour south and there were areas that would be dry. We ended up climbing the whole day at an amazing place called Las Tuerces. According to Sergio there were about 200 climbs in this place, most of them bolted for sport climbing but also some trad lines. Sergio was extremely knowledgeable and had actually bolted and developed many of the climbs himself. He is an extremely passionate climber and he loves to share his passion. He says that he wants to one day develop a guide book for the region along with some of the other long time locals. When we went, we brought our own climbing shoes and Sergio provided everything else: ropes, harnesses, chalk bags, and backpacks. I also prefer top roping to lead climbing, so Sergio lead all of the routes while I belayed him and then we took turns top roping them. Since he was so knowledgeable he was able to find us whatever type and grade of route we wanted. Additionally he was a super strong climber and also a good teacher. In the region there are apparently many other climbing areas which were wet on the day we were there. In addition Sergio guides other activities like canyoning or rope swings. If I am ever in Northern Spain again I will definitely try to spend another day climbing with Sergio.
