The granite in the Catalan Pyrenees doesn’t give freebies—it makes you dig deep, then rewards you tenfold. Over five days, we’ll tackle increasingly pumpy lines, leveling up our head game on some raw, technical terrain. Based in Erill la Vall, a chill village at the doorstep of Aigüestortes National Park, we’ll embrace pure granite climbing with a crew of women who are all about going the extra pitch. Every session will test our grit—on the wall and within ourselves. Let’s see what we’re made of.
Ready to crush some prime Pyrenean granite? Join this 5-day women-only climbing camp in the Catalan Pyrenees for three full days of sending on pristine rock. We'll kick off with dinner arriving in Erill la Vall, then hit different sectors each day to work everything from techy faces to longer pitches. We might even squeeze in some bouldering or hiking on the first or last day! An experienced local guide brings deep knowledge of the area and handles the technical setups. All technical climbing gear is provided, accommodation and all meals are sorted already, so you can focus on what matters: crushing some epic lines!
Make your way from Barcelona to the small village of Errill la Vall and plan to arrive between 10am and 12pm. After settling into our accommodation and getting a program overview, we’ll head to the climbing area to explore the site and enjoy a picnic. Each person should bring their own picnic and snacks for this day. As this is the first day, there will be time to prepare our backpacks, organize our gear, and rest from the journey. We’ll have dinner at 8pm.

It’s our last day in the Pyrenees, but we still have half a day to climb, boulder, or enjoy our picnic in nature. The plan will be decided the day before, but we aim to make the most of this last morning together.
