Overall it was an amazing week. It was a bit long and intensive days. Sometimes the days program got a bit hectic. If I should change anything at all, it would be to reduce the climbs to about 5-6 hours in total (including two crags and transport). It seems natural for many to loose focus and energy after this time at the crag. At the same time it was not a problem as I slowed down when I needed.

What I brought with me home, besides from an excellent stay with good hosts and people was new strategies to handle fear and I got past my climbing challenges due to competent and calm guidance from Des. Thank you! 

I will definitely try to spend another climbing week in the villa next year.

.. and I am very familiar with the Costa Blanca area, the holiday and instruction provided by Trevor and Desirée was of the highest quality. Although I had no expectations for the trip, I learnt a great deal, in particular the need to improve my movement skills and would certainly consider coaching with them to help work towards my long-term sport climbing goals. On the last day of the holiday I was unlucky to slip descending the path from the crag resulting in a severe knee injury. Their support in evacuating me from the crag, to a medical clinic in Calpe, and expediting my departure back to the UK where I would subsequently receive emergency surgery gives me the very best chance of a full recovery. They make for a professional, genuine, kind and entertaining team, so thoroughly recommend one of their climbing holidays.

I’ve come away thinking more practically about safety and how to improve my technique. I appreciated the effort to find good places to climb when the weather didn’t play ball and also the thought given to ensuring everyone in the group got plenty out of each day regardless of ability level. The villa is awesome. The organization and communication from Kiera before the trip super. Everyone on the trip was lovely, funny and kind. And the friendly vibes, banter and wisdom from Des and Trevor made it a truly special week.

Thanks for a great week. I really enjoyed the drills and breaking down of the movement patterns. I feel like it helped to have a regular process to go through, especially when leading. I was slightly disappointed to not spend more time redpointing and climbing closer to my limit towards the end of the week, but I understand that Ambolo was unexpectedly busy on the day we went, so it wasn’t within our control.

I’m not going to lie, day 1 was a bit brutal; replacing engrained bad habits with good practice. But that, and four more days of outstanding coaching, encouragement and laughter has made me a more confident, safer and efficient climber. The chance to practice falling and landing was a highlight, but honestly, it was all good and I’m looking forward to continuing to build my skills and technique on my next trip to the Costa Blanca.

I had a fantastic time in Spain! Trevor and Desiree were great coaches, guides and hosts. I learned a lot of new information about rock climbing safety that I didn’t know, after 20 years of enjoying the sport! I felt more confident in my climbing and my leading skills and left Spain with a renewed enthusiasm for climbing.

In addition to providing transportation to the grocery store and picking us sillies up from an up expected off-day adventure, they also facilitated evening activities that helped us relax and get to know the people in our group after long days focused on learning and climbing. That was really appreciated. I felt like I was also making friends!

We would love another trip with R&S, if we can. We are already talking about it ;)

Thank you Trevor and Desiree and Rock On!

I had a great time, learnt so much and came away feeling as though I was still progressing and yet have so much to work on! Thank you for the patience and the time to allow me to try. Christian P.
