Tenerife – Climbing trip

Day 1: Arrival in Tenerife
We meet directly on Tenerife at Tenerife South Airport. We coordinate the flights together and are happy to help with booking. Once everyone has arrived, we pick up a rental car, which we will use over the coming days. Our first destination is the Teneriffa Climbing House in Arico in the south of the island, where we stay for a total of three nights. Over dinner together, we put together a well-balanced programme for the next few days to suit your climbing level and wishes.

Day 2-3: Climbing in the south
Around Arico there are plenty of wonderful and varied climbing areas, which we visit on the first two climbing days. We work intensively on climbing technique and everything else that matters in climbing. And of course we climb for as long as our strength lasts. Each evening we wind down over dinner together in the cosy atmosphere of the Teneriffa Climbing House.

Day 4: Exploring the east of the island
After that it is time for a rest day, on which we explore some of the island and its truly beautiful landscapes. There is no shortage of options – exactly where we go depends on what we feel like. We also move to new accommodation. This way we not only get to know new corners of the island, but are also well placed for the next few days in the other part of the island.

Day 5: Climbing in the north
We dedicate the fifth day to the climbing in the northern part of the island. Here too there are many interesting options, so we are spoilt for choice. The character of the areas differs noticeably from the south, and that is exactly what makes this trip so appealing: in just a few days we see very different sides of Tenerife – in terms of both landscape and climbing.

Day 6: Pico del Teide
An absolute highlight is the ascent of Pico del Teide, Spain's highest mountain, which still shapes the island today. The volcano offers magnificent scenery and wide panoramic views across the island and over to the neighbouring Canary Islands.

Day 7: One more climbing day
The seventh day gives us one more chance to visit one of the great crags in the north of the island or the wonderful crag at the foot of Pico del Teide, and to mobilise our last reserves of strength and skin. This is usually the day when the climbing is really good once again – with a little more routine, a little more feel for the rock and often a clear idea of what you personally feel like doing.

Day 8: Departure
And then the eighth and final day on Tenerife has already arrived. We certainly won't leave without many powerful memories of this Canary Island, so unfairly dismissed as an island for pensioners. With new confidence and fresh climbing inspiration, saying goodbye is rarely easy – and the next climbing goals back home are often already set in our minds.
