We climbed with Sergio for just one day in the Costa Blanca area and he designed the perfect session to suit both me and my partner. He quickly assessed our climbing abilities and preferences for style and routes and took us to an area on the crag where we could climb beautiful, fun and diverse lines. His knowledge of the area is clearly top-notch! My partner had never climbed outdoors before and Sergio was encouraging and patient. Sergio is a very professional guide but also a super friendly and funny person with a great and generous smile. He has a meticulous eye for safety and helped us fine-tune some technique and safety things. When we were on the routes, he knew the right time to step in with some coaching/beta and when to let us try to figure it out. He is clearly passionate about climbing and guiding. We would definitely climb with him again if we return to the area. Keep living your dream, Sergio!

Très bonne expérience lors d’une initiation à l’escalade outdoor avec mes deux enfants de 10 et 12 ans. Sergio est très sympathique, patient et passionné.

Nothing is impossible! After only one day climbing lessons in Thailand I got the idea to climb the Peñon de Ifach in Calpe because I see it every day and have been scrambling up to the summit very often. My contact with Sergio was great, right from the beginning and he managed to teach me in only a couple of hours the necessary skills to climb. On the next possible day we climbed the Peñon! We did not the easiest, but a moderate route and it was challenging for me, but Sergio gave me the confidence that it is possible, even for me as a beginner. With great knowledge and endless patience he is the teacher and companion everyone would like to have. An absolute professional and worth contacting! Thanks buddy for this unforgettable experience.

We did a climbing class with Sergio to learn outdoors lead climbing and the experience was amazing. Sergio is kind, patient, funny, and a great instructor, meticulous regarding safety and technique. The class was great, Sergio taught us a lot and we left confident that we acquired a solid base of skills for outdoor climbing on which to build on. He also brought us to beautiful postal-card climbing crags! We would recommend anyone (of any level) who wants to climb in the Costa Blanca to contact him, and we would be glad to climb with him again if we are back in the area. Gracias Sergio!

Great experience! Sergio is a fantastic instructor who designed a great climbing program for my friend and I while on holiday. He is positive, patient, safety oriented, and taught us both so much. We will definitely come back again. We highly recommend to others looking for a great experience climbing in Denia. We seriously considered extending our trip just to climb more with Sergio - he’s that good!

Mi primer 8a! Después de meses matizando y probando la vía, me caía siempre en el mismo paso a pesar de encontrarme fuerte. Solamente hizo falta que Sergi me viera subir una vez para corregirme un pequeño detalle técnico y.... Encadenada al siguiente pegue! A veces los pequeños detalles marcan la diferencia y Sergi marca esa diferencia. Sin duda uno de los mejores técnicos de la Costa Blanca

SERPA climbing with Sergio was a great discovery. We wanted someone to teach us techniques and mental training for lead climbing and to help us find good climbing spots in the Costa Blanca area. Sergio met us in a very professional manner. His teaching was based on solid climbing skills and climbing experience. He had great knowledge about everything we needed to know about the climbing spots suited for our level in the area. He is a very kind, patient and competent coach. Sergio had a very good understanding of safety, and gave good technical analysis of our climbing and taught us from a very calm and confident place as a professionally educated climbing coach. He had great pedagogic principles and teaching methods. We learned some eye opening principles for sports climbing from Sergio. He taught us with heartfelt engagement and dedication to us as clients. We give him a warm recommendation to anyone who needs a sports climbing coach, and we will definitely be back to learn more.

I had an excellent 3 day climbing trip with Sergio. He guided and coached me on techniques which have enabled me to be more confident on difficult terrain. Would recommend to any one at any level in their climbing. He also has knowledge of local hidden crags that aren't included any guidebooks.

Sergio is simply the best: a brilliant climbing coach, friendly personality and expert in finding the best climbs in the region. We booked a day of climbing for my 15 year old - super keen bouldering sport climber - son. He'd got some rope climbing but no lead climbing or much outdoor experience. Sergio found us a shady edge on a very hot summer day. He guided my son through several 6+ climbs and rope and clipping on skills. Sergio adapted to his needs really well and worked with his ambition to try a 7+ climb. He is patient, good humoured and gave great advice on other things we could do during our stay. Highly recommended.

I had an incredible experience with SERPA Climbing and its owner and guide, Sergio. From start to finish, Sergio was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure that every aspect of our climbing adventure was tailored to our needs and abilities. Sergio's expertise in climbing was immediately apparent, as he guided us through some challenging routes with ease and precision. He also had a wealth of knowledge about the local area, which made for a truly immersive and memorable experience. What really stood out to me was how patient and encouraging Sergio was throughout our climb. He made us feel confident and safe every step of the way, and his passion for climbing was infectious. I also have to give a special shout-out to Sergio's wonderful and adorable dog, Bati! On one of the days we climbed, Bati joined us at the crag and made the experience even more enjoyable Overall, I would highly recommend SERPA Climbing to anyone looking for a phenomenal climbing experience. Sergio's expertise, friendly demeanor, and accommodating approach make for an unforgettable adventure that I can't wait to repeat. Thank you, SERPA Climbing, and thank you, Sergio!

We had a great time climbing four days with Sergio. Communication was fast and easy. Sergio was very open to our wishes and adapted to changes in our plans. We had two days of technique coaching and two days of multipitch training, the last day climbing the spectacular 5 pitch route Sonjanikka at Morro Falquí. Amazing route selection. I highly recommend Sergio if you are looking for climbing training, coaching or guiding.

Fantastic time spent with Sergio and the cliffs of the Costa Blanca. Good communication, and good at sleuthing the best routes to satiate my objectives. We climbed over three days spread out over a week. Each day was spectacular in atmosphere and ended with a first known link up Sergio dubbed, “Thrillogy”.
