JUNE: Daila Ojeda Climbing Camp, Ecrins, France

For lead climbers (operating at 6a or above) looking to push their grade, this is the perfect holiday. Dalia Ojeda and the Rockbusters team will use their expert analysis, evaluation and advice to propel your climbing forwards, no matter what your grade.

The recipe for success is simple…. Bring some of the world's top climbers onto a Rockbusters camp, mix their knowledge and passion for the sport with your enthusiasm and desire to improve. Climb together for a week at a top crag and you'll see rapid improvement and plateaus will be shattered.

To kick things off we're running a week of pure coaching with Dalia Ojeda in one of the Spains' / Frances´ hottest sport climbing destinations. Dalia is well known for sending the toughest routes in the elite climbing Mecca of Catalunya. She also embodies the attitude, style and climbing ethos of the Rockbusters team.

Rapid improvement is the aim of the camp so we're looking for a very motivated group of climbers. For financial reasons pro-climbers rarely give their time away like this, but they want to give something back to the climbing community so Rockbusters are pulling together a focused group of climbers.

JUNE-AUGUST: Czech Sandstone - something special

Rockbusters in the bath

If you're familiar with British gritstone then Czech sandstone will be surprisingly similar. If you've got no idea what we're talking about then all you need to know is that the Czech sandstone of the Elbe Mountains is one of the best rock types for climbing. Jan, the Rockbusters founder, is Czech so this is the perfect time to learn the ropes in one of world's most unique climbing areas.

This is your chance to experience some of the most unique and exciting Czech climbing, accompanied by some of the finest guides you could ever wish to meet (even if we do say so ourselves). It's perfect for climbers who've got a fair bit of experience under their belt, but open to anyone who can belay safely and tie on without assistance.

For Indoor climbers it is the ideal first step into outdoor climbing - you'll get a kick out of testing your skills in the open. The Elbe Mountains are considered by many as one of the best sandstone climbing destinations on the planet.

AUGUST-OCTOBER: The annual Eurotrip

Every year, Rockbusters tours Europe, visiting the most iconic crags of the continent. This year's trip kicks off on 12.08.17 with a full-blown adventure on the sandstone towers of Labské Údolí in Czechia. Although the area has a reputation for very particular climbing ethic (i.e.: no bolting), in the past few years the style of climbing has become a little more accessible. If you're up for an adventure, enjoy technical face climbing on smeary footsteps, and want to improve your head game, the Labské Údolí leg of the trip is for you.

From then on, in one week intervals, the Rockbusters team will visit the following areas: Frankenjura, Gorges du Tarn, Ceüse, Zillertal, Margalef, and, last but not least, Finale Ligure. The Eurotrip comes to a close on 07.10.17 and climbers of all levels are welcome to join for the whole duration of the trip, or for their preferred weeks.

The Rockbusters instructors will introduce you to the venues, brush up your lead climbing skills, and recommend the best routes for your current climbing level. Informal technique classes will teach you all the skills you need to send harder than ever.

The full schedule of the 2017 Rockbusters Eurotrip can be found here.

OCTOBER: Mallorca DWS

Spain is Europe's premiere deep-water solo destination. Mallorca and psicobloc appeared on climbers' radars when Chris Sharma put up his king line on the Es Pontas arch.

There's no better way to explore the limestone cliffs than from the sea, so forget about camping or rented apartments. During this trip we will live and breathe psicobloc and the only way to do it is by living on a boat!

As long as you're a confident swimmer, the island offers routes to suit any climbing ability, from a complete beginner to 9a. DWS can seem intimidating at first but with our guidance you will quickly gain confidence and be ready to pursue some challenging lines.

We can't wait to have you on board! To book online, click here.
