Alquezar

It is a small town at elevation of about 600m with the population of 300 situated in Barbastro region in Huesca, Spain. Alquezar is characterized by not only roman-gothic architecture, but also big walls and cliffs surrounding Vero river.

Buoux

Most of the 450 routes offered by the region, go through slightly overhanging, sometimes vertical walls. Famous Buoux pockets require strong fingers, especially for the harder rated routes. Climbing is very technical – you need to be flexible, know how to position your body and lock off.

The Bugaboos
The Bugaboos or the „Bugs” (Bugaboo Provincial Park) is regarded as Canada’s best destination for alpine rock climbing. The mountain range is located in the core of the Purcell Mountains, on the border between British Columbia and Alberta. The Bugs have something to offer for mountaineers with various climbing skills.

Rätikon
Rätikon is a range of mountains in central-eastern Alps located on the border between Switzerland and Austria. Its most appealing climbing parts are the south faces of the huge, 15km long rock wall, that offer the biggest number of difficult, multi-pitch routes in Switzerland and perhaps even in all the Alps.

The Lofoten Islands, Norway
The Lofoten Islands are said to be one of the most beautiful climbing areas on earth. Although the mountains there are not very high, and the highest peak, Higraftindan, reaches only 1161meters, the fact that they rise straight from the sea makes them spectacular and extraordinary.

Sardinia, Italy
Sardinia lies to the west of mainland Italy and is the second largest island on the Mediterranean. We present photo guide to the best climbing spots on the island.

Squamish, Canada
If hot summer weather, crowds, constant hassles with park rangers is not your cup of tea, think about your alternatives. You might find yourself traveling to Squamish in Canada.

Julian Alps, Slovenia
Slovenia does not actually have a reputation as an ice climbing paradise. Not rightly so, because in cold winters ice is abundant. Ice climbs are scattered over alpine and sub-alpine areas of the country.
