Lunch: Make lunches with extra breakfast items supplemented by grocery

Dinner: Greek cuisine at local restaurants. Some nights we will do takeout/catered so we can relax at home.

What participants said about last year’s trip to Spain:

“This trip felt as though I was traveling with friends while being provided with the opportunity to expand my abilities as a climber in a safe and supportive environment.”

“The 2023-24 NYE climbing trip in Spain was exactly what I needed, a break from work, deep in the Spanish mountains crushing limestone! In my opinion this was and is a fantastic trip for advanced and novice climbers alike- think of it as choose-your-own-climbing-adventure guided style.”

“A magical trip climbing on spectacular rock and experiencing Spanish culture with a supportive, inclusive group of fellow climbers. The guides were knowledgeable, knew how to keep us safe, and were open to suggestions from the participants.”

“Phenomenal limestone in a beautiful place was in the cake. Great leadership, new friends and no worries were the icing.”

“It was fun, exciting. challenging and inspiring to climb with such an amazing group.”

“This trip was about much more than climbing, it was about creating and enjoying and incredible community of female climbers.”

If you were to recommend this trip to a friend, what would you say?

“This isn't like a trip organized by a guiding company, it's more like if you all paid a friend to organize an awesome vacation for group of wonderful people.”

“GO ON THE TRIP, you wont regret it!!!”

“I would tell them to do it, 100%. I would have no hesitation in recommending this experience.”

“Among the most fun experiences you can have with your clothes on.”

“This one of the best trips I've ever taken!”

“The climbing was a delight on the highest quality limestone in nearly perfect Mediterranean weather, but the gift of time afforded by our guides taking care of all the details made it a true vacation.”
