In reply to Cerith:
Hi,
We were there last christmas (my husband, my son (7) and myself) and we stayed at the Tenerife Climbing house. A really friendly place -hostel, climbing instruction and shop in one. We didn't need a climbing partner, but there were loads of climbers there partnering up all the time. It would be worthwhile to get in touch with them or put your name on a "looking for partner list" there when you are on Tenerife.

ps We had a great time! Loads of good climbing to be done...and yes, the grading can be harsh
