DOWNLOADS & MINIGUIDE

We totally get it! You like to plan your routes beforehand and you will find some info online but as

Tenerife is a semi fast growing climbing area with new routes being built on a weekly basis, it is hard for all of us to keep up.

Making the 2019 guidebook took 3 years and at a certain moment we had to say “basta” or the guide would never be finished.

They are passionate about the sport, love to share all the latest info and can advise you on which area would best fit your level/expectations or where to go considering your week’s weather conditions.
