Blue seas, white beaches and terraced fruit groves set against panoramic mountains, the Costa Blanca has it all. Its Mediterranean climate means good climbing conditions all year round.

Why You'll Love This Adventure?
The Costa Blanca has enough quality limestone rock for a lifetime of climbing. The area offers a wealth of climbing for all grades and styles: sea cliffs, mountain ridges, single pitch crags and canyon walks. At Rock & Sun we know all the local crags as well as the known ones, so we can pick the right crag for all weather conditions and to suit all abilities. Top quality, fresh limestone climbing, overlooking the sea or surrounded by the green hills of the Jalon valley.
Besides single pitch sport climbing, the Costa Blanca is home to some of Spain’s most exciting multi-pitch climbing. During The Big Five you will climb five of the classic big multi-pitch routes in the area. Routes ranging from 3 to 13 pitches guarantee adventurous climbing experiences.
It is also possible to go traditional climbing in Costa Blanca on leader placed protection. The featured limestone rock and abundance of easy routes is ideal for learning how to place cams and nuts.
For women who prefer to climb in an all female environment and focus specifically on efficient movement and finding technical solutions for naturally not being very strong, we organize a Women Only Climbing Holiday.
Finally our Family Climbing Holidays can be tailored to the specific needs and experience levels of your family.
Additional Information
Development of Climbing Region
There are an additional couple of perks to rock climbing in Costa Blanca with us. Over the last years we’ve been working hard to develop new routes that haven’t seen traffic from other climbers.
Current guidebooks may list all the great crags developed over the last 5-10 years, but we can lead you to some almost untouched climbs. There are whole crags that are not in guidebooks – and there are still many more climbs to be discovered!
Also, a penny from every pound of your Costa Blanca climbing holiday cost will be paid into a bolt fund that helps develop and upkeep new and existing crags (e.g. cleaning and bolting new routes; developing and maintaining access paths; replacing tired bolts) – so helping to sustain rock climbing in Costa Blanca.
Weather and Climate Costa Blanca
With an average of 300 days sunshine each year, this is probably the best rock climbing destination in Europe. You can climb in Costa Blanca all year round. In the height of summer we manage the heat by getting out early to climb, then have a siesta like the Spanish, and maybe go out climbing again late afternoon or early evening depending on your course or holiday.
