Behind a guide there is a person passionate about nature and their job, with great experience and training that allows them to dedicate themselves professionally to this job, but above all you will find a person who wants to share a rope and the experience of a life.

Qualified professionals

Great experience

David Duran Pérez (Fino)

CLIMBING SPORTS TECHNICIAN

Fino has been passionate about climbing since he first put on a harness and climbing shoes in Montserrat. It’s been 30 years, but the excitement of that day has accompanied him every time he climbs. Montserrat has seen him grow as a climber, but soon new horizons opened up, traveling and practicing all types of climbing. Over the years, he wanted to go one step further and decided to study to become a climbing guide, a profession he now pursues, sharing his experience and passion with everyone who wants to share rope with him.

  Ahir en Fino ens va fer una formacio en Reunions i manipulacio de cordes en Via Llarga.

Va ser brutal.

Ens va fer una revisio des dels punts mes basics fins als mes complicats, materials, seguretat etc.

Te una prespectiva de l’escalada molt interessant i t’ensenya a pensar el perque de cada cosa.

Explicacio molt clara, Q&A constant i un tracte amable.

Un crac en Fino!

Repetirem per seguir aprenent segur

  I had David (Fino) take me for a guided multi pitch climbing day in Montserrat. I spoke with multiple climbing guides and I instantly knew David was the perfect guide.

He was extremely responsive with emails/whatsapp, answering all my questions. You can tell he really cared by truly listening my needs / what I was looking for. He gave me detailed descriptions/pictures of all the potential routes we can do.

He was extremely flexible. I was only booking him for one day, but he had blocked off two days for me incase weather didn't cooperate. When the day came closer, both those days were no good, so he climbed with me on a third day that we never planned for.

He offered to pick me up at my airbnb and drove us to Montserrat. The climbing experience in Montserrat was unreal, where he guided my up the most iconic needle of Monterrat, Cavall Bernat, climb of a life time. I only brought climbing shoes/harness while he provided everything else so I can travel light. He was safe, professional, passionate. He took lots of pictures on phone/gopro where he then airdropped to me. He then even dropped me off at Montserrat after so I can double down on the day and be a tourist.

If I ever come back to Barcelona/Catalunya area, I am definitely going to reach out to David again for another adventure.

  Una gran experiència en aquest guiatge al Cavall Bernat! El Fino es un gran professional, un guia excel·lent.. ja havíem coincidit en un altre curs i no vaig dubtar en cap moment alhora de buscar un guia per aquest repte.

Es una persona que encomana la seva passió a l'escalada, a la muntanya i amb un gran bagatge. El seu costat sempre pots apendre, i alhora d'ensenyar te una manera que el fa ser únic.

Ha sigut jornada increïble, et fa sentir còmode, motivada i sobretot amb ganes de continuar escalant!

Mil gràcies Fino!

  Fino took me climbing around the beautiful Montserrat area! It was an unforgettable day with amazing views. Fino is a very experienced and talented climber, he taught me a lot of new tips for anchors and rappelling. He has a great attitude and is very enthusiastic about climbing! Even when I was tired I was able to use his excited energy to help me get to the top! I am so grateful for the experience :)

  Increïble curs bàsic de via llarga de dos dies impartit per en Fino. Conceptes explicats molts ordenats i didàcticament, fet que permet aprendre molt en poc temps. En tot moment assessorats per agafar confiança a la paret i poc a poc autonomia. En Fino no sols es limita a transmetre uns coneixements plens d'humiltat i amor per la natura sinó que procura que sigui una experiència que agradi tant per tal que aquest curs realment tingui una continuïtat.

Gràcies Fino!

  Aquesta setmana hem anat a fer un curs de via llarga amb en Fino i l’experiència ha estat fantàstica!
En Fino és un professional excel·lent amb molta experiència i paciència i adaptant-se en tot moment a les nostres necessitats.
El curs ha estat molt complet, ens ha donat recursos per moure'ns per la paret de forma eficaç i segura, així com a gestionar els diferents tipus de protecció, anclatges, etc., amb una atenció especial a la seguretat en tot moment.
El lloc escollit, els Gorros de Montserrat, ha estat una opció molt encertada, ja que és un lloc preciós, tranquil, assequible, amb moltes vies de diferents graus i ben equipades.
Una gran oportunitat per aprendre i gaudir de l'escalada en un entorn natural espectacular i una molt bona companyia.
