Overview
Are you looking to improve your sport climbing performance, technique, and mindset, and push through to the next grade? If yes, this is the trip for you! Our 8-day Performance Coaching trips take place in 3 different locations : Rodellar (Spain), Sella (Spain), and Frankenjura (Germany). Considered among the world's best sport climbing destinations, these areas offer something for both those looking for a laid-back climbing holiday and pro athletes alike. This 8-days performance course is designed for motivated climbers with at least 6b/c level looking to progress. Rockbusters' best professional coaches and guides (including professional climber Klemen Bečan!) will be there to help you send your hardest projects. Expect lots of climbing, intensive one-on-one coaching, and a detailed review of your climbing performance.
Highlights
Rodellar
Rodellar is a tufa-climbing paradise, home to over 400 incredible bolted routes. This is the place to head if you enjoy long steep routes, huge caves, tufas, slopers and wide pinches - but there are also many vertical crags offering more technical climbing.
Frankenjura
The birthplace of red-pointing, Frankenjura is known for it's pockets and power endurance intensive climbs - but there's a lot of variety! With over 13,000 routes and 1,000 crags in a pleasant forested setting, this is the perfect destination for a climbing holiday!
Sella
Sella is one of the main rock climbing areas in Costa Blanca, Spain, and boasts a huge variety of excellent climbs of all grades and styles. The typical style is moderately long, slabby to vertical routes, making for technical climbing on crimps and huecos.

Frankenjura, Germany
Frankenjura is known for two things: pockets and power endurance!
The largest sport climbing area in Germany, Frankenjura is known for two things: pockets and power endurance! While it's true that the area's typical style is short, steep sport routes that pack a punch, Frankenjura's 1,000 crags and over 13,000 routes boast astounding variety. Frankenjura is often said to be the birthplace of red-pointing, boasting the world's first 8c and 9a, but there's plenty of easier routes from the 3rd grade up. Pristine grey-white limestone walls and a peaceful forested setting make this a pleasant destination for a climbing holiday - and that's not even mentioning the countless local breweries and cake shops!
