Rock Climbing

Climb Easy
Think more ‘all inclusive’ rather than just ‘wall inclusive’. This could be your trip of a lifetime and we’ll do whatever we can to make it as easy as possible. Because climbing is hard enough as it is. We’re all about subtracting the hassle, so talk to us and we’ll take care of everything: transfers, accommodation, equipment, routes, recommendations, unwinding time, shopping trips, social events. Your whole holiday experience, in other words. So, where do you want to go?
Climb Better
An experienced, highly qualified team with a passion for climbing and coaching: whatever you’re looking to achieve on your holiday, we’ll help you make it happen.
Looking to climb outside for the first time? Think you’re ready to take it up a notch? Been climbing for years and want to fine-tune something specific? Our trips are graded using an easy to follow key so you can gauge the right trip for you.
Still unsure? Get in touch for more information and advice.
Costa Blanca
Rock climbing opportunities are limitless in the Costa Blanca. This is Spain’s most varied and developed climbing area. Providing a variety of single and multi-pitch sport climbs, traditional routes, sea cliffs and mountain crags. Blue seas, white beaches and terraced fruit groves set against panoramic mountains, the Costa Blanca has it all.

Kalymnos
Kalymnos is a beautiful Greek island. Its fantastic limestone cliffs make it a paradise for sport climbing at all grades. Just add sun, sea, secluded beaches, friendly people, delicious food and great climbing conditions in the spring and autumn, and you understand why it’s a world-class climbing destination.

Thailand
Thailand has been the tropical sport climbing destination of choice for about thirty years already. The first of the exotic climbing destinations and still considered by many to be the best! Rock & Sun offers guided tours of what many believe to be the most beautiful and exciting climbing destination in the world.

Our Rock Solid Promise
Life can be tough enough without your holiday being cancelled. Time is precious, time off can be hard to come by, and balancing work and family is rarely simple either. Hence our Rock Solid Promise: once you book it, we guarantee to run it, even with low numbers, even if we lose money. Plus your money’s kept safe and sound in our bonded account until after your holiday.
Book and it will run, with Rock & Sun.

… climbing with Jonny. He was patient and accommodating to everybody’s needs, and encouraged people to achieve their goals. It’s always lovely to climb with people from all over the world, and this group was certainly inspiring!

My second trip with Rock and Sun and, as before, excellent tuition from Des and Trevor that fills you with confidence to climb better, challenge yourself and all with a lot of fun. Stunning venues, often over-looking the sea or a mountain landscape. This trip was over Christmas and we all had a ball on Christmas eve with karaoke and live music followed by a terrific lunch on Christmas day. Highly recommended.

I had a brilliant time last month in Kalymnos with you. I really appreciate the time and interest you both had in running a safe and enjoyable trip. The advice given to help me personal improve my climbing outdoors was great and has given me actionable things to pay attention to and work on going forward.
The climbing was absolutely excellent and the day on Telendos at Lambda was brilliant and not somewhere I’d ever have gone on my own.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. I had a brilliant time!

I had a lovely time and learnt a lot about sport climbing. The coaching has a strong emphasis on safety and efficiency – ideal for beginners and novices. The crags were stunning!

Having not climbed for several years and now getting to grips with it again, I couldn’t have chosen a better company. Not only was there bags of support and encouragement, I was persuaded to look at climbing with a completely different philosophy, changing the way I’ve always done things and immediately improving my technique.
You couldn’t wish to meet two nicer people in Trevor and Desiree. The accommodation and local area are stunning. Very pleasant on the rest day to relax by the pool. Great climbing area, and even though it was the end of July, we always managed to find a shaded crag.
Top marks all round and I shall be back without a doubt.

I had no outdoor climbing experience, and no belaying experience when I went on my Rock and Sun holiday. I was a little scared of both of those things. But Trevor and Desiree were excellent at explaining both how you do these things, and why they are safe. It really gave me a lot of confidence, and I wasn’t scared at all.
They are calm, patient instructors, and I felt like I learned so much. By the end, I was very confident in my top-roping and belaying and would feel comfortable doing it on a climbing trip or at the gym.
The entire holiday experience was so calm and relaxing. Being at the crag, you only really hear the sounds of nature. It’s the same at the villa you stay at. Just relaxing by the pool after a day of trying hard at the crag is a really lovely experience.
When I was in the car on the way back to the airport I was already planning when to come back

…and watching them (Trevor and Desirée) climb is proof enough, though you’ll notice the difference immediately in your own climbing. Their patience as I try to overcome my own bad habits form-wise is very welcome.
The villa in Spain is very comfortable, has everything you need + a pool and barbecue and beautiful views in a peaceful setting. Add to that a lovely group of fellow climbers and what more could you want?
A treasure trove of available shoes, packs and other gear means there’s nothing else you’ll need. I’ll happily book with them again.

What a chance to learn from a couple of climbing legends! You will quickly become a safer and more confident rock climber after a Rock and Sun holiday. A really well thought out week that takes you to beautiful crags with enough time to chill by the pool too. It is also a good chance to expand your climbing network back home after meeting the other intrepid adventurers.
Big thanks to Trev and Days!
