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.

Rodellar in Spain is a tufa-climbing paradise, perfect for pushing your climbing grade
Rodellar in Spain is a tufa-climbing paradise, a perfect destination for both chilled sport-climbing holidays and for pushing your grade. Apart from relaxing with a glass of wine, climbing huge overhanging walls of orange limestone is the main attraction of the sleepy village. There are about 400 bolted routes spread over two gorges: Mascún and Alcanadre. The Alcanadre gorge is a beautiful place, a little more difficult to access and slightly less visited. However, climbing in the beautiful Piscinita or Glacier sectors is more than worth the hike! The Mascún Gorge can get a bit busier. Nonetheless, climbing the imposing caves of Gran Boveda or Surgencia is an amazing feeling.
