Today marks the official end of our climbing course in Cuenca, Spain. Say goodbye to your guide and your supportive, all-women team!
I have been climbing with Rockbusters for 4 trips now and it has opened up so many amazing climbing destinations all over Europe for me. Highly recommended! I appreciate: being able to join climbing trips spontaneously; not having to organize people and equipment; not having to make decisions around figuring out which crags or routes to focus on; projecting hard routes without worrying about being a burden on my partners, climbing with different people I trust and being able to choose my belayer (sometimes I ask the coach to belay me if a route looks a bit sketch – or I just need a patient belayer), the warm community and amazing friendships I’ve made.Of course, now I’ve learned the skills to climb outdoors safely and independently with partners, but I still keep going back to Rockbusters for these reasons 🙂
For me Rockbusters are offering a unique climbing experience. I’ve jumped a grade with each holiday I have taken (3 so far) and made new friends. Jany is accommodating and very encouraging. I cannot recommend these guys enough!

Just finished an unforgettable week on the advanced climbing course with Patxi and Jany, and wow – they were absolute magicians! Despite Spain dishing out some truly epic rain, these two always managed to find us a dry rock to climb on. They didn’t just adapt to the weather; they completely customized the training to match my goals, helping me level up in ways I hadn’t expected. Thanks to their incredible expertise and unbreakable spirits, I came out of this week feeling stronger, more confident, and more inspired than ever. Can’t recommend this duo enough – rain or shine, they’ll make it happen!
