Trad climbing introduction – Step into more adventurous terrains
Granada - SPAIN
Discover traditional climbing in a beginner friendly one day course made for sport climbers who are already comfortable leading. No multi pitch experience is needed, just the interest to explore the world of trad climbing.
You’ll learn how to place and evaluate the most common trad gear: Stoppers and cams. We’ll also cover building solid, comfortable multi piece anchors and the basics of moving efficiently while placing protection on lead.
All techniques are applied through supported lead practice, placing your own gear while staying backed up by fixed points. This lets you learn step by step, test placements safely, and build trust in a controlled, confidence boosting environment.
This course gives you an exciting and meaningful first step into trad climbing. For deeper training and full autonomy, the three day Trad Climbing Course is available.
Based in sunny winter climbing areas around Granada, with warm rock, great views, and guided learning at your own pace.

“I had a great day with Mateo. We did a fun multi pitch route with bolts & trad gear in Tajo de Los Vados, where I learned how to climb with half ropes & place gear in limestone. Mateo helped me push myself to keep going even when I was scared, and was very pleasant & patient to be around. Definitely recommend reaching out to him if you are in Andalusia and want to learn new climbing skills! Thank you!”

“I did a full day multipitch with Mathieu where I got to practice using trad gear. It was my first time ever leading a full trad route! Had the best time, and learned a lot, whilst I also always felt safe. Mathieu is an amazing guide and teacher, and clearly very passionate about his profession. 11/10!”

“I have first been taking lessons with him to improve my general climbing (the instructor is an excellent climber with beautiful foot technique), but with the time learning more and more techniques and tricks with the gear. Also helped me a lot with multipitches and keeping safe on those. It was a transition from climbing lesson to guiding. Beginner climbers can learn how to lead and more advanced climbers about technical details (trad gear placement, ascending, rope handling, helping the second on a multipitch). The experience never feels like a lesson more like fun. Thats why i say it is recomendable for all types of climbers.”
