Montserrat rock climbing Boi Roca at the Elefant

Probably the most classic and repeated climbing route in the region of the Tebaida.

Unmistakable rock formation, easy to recognize, the Boy Roca route follows this Elephant's trunk to the top, with a mandatory difficulty not higher than V (although very runout).

It is said that the third pitch is 6a+... but if it is, it is the hardest 6a+ in the world.

This climbing route could be the most classic multi-pitch route in this area, another must of Montserrat climbs.

  • I haven't rock climbed for some 25 years, I certainly haven't got a climbing partner any more! My wife and I went to Montserrat on a walking/Via Ferrata holiday. The owner of our apartment, an ex-climber himself, recommended Francesc as a climbing guide. Francesc was punctual, he was waiting for me at the RV, and I was early! His local knowledge was excellent. The weather was changeable, his route selection was spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 pitch route. We intend to visit the area again, hopefully I will be able to hook with Francesc again, I've got my eye on the "Cavall Bernat" !

  • I was visiting Barcelona alone and was dying to climb in Montserrat. I hired a guide, Francesc and he was absolutely awesome. Organizing beforehand was super easy and he gave helpful instructions on how and where to meet him. I am an intermediate climber and have only been climbing outdoors for a year so I still get a little nervous. He found a climb that was perfect for my level. We did about 5 pitches and it was such a blast. The scenery is incredibly breath-taking and the rock was super fun to climb (much different from what I was used to in New England). This was one of my favorite travel experiences I have ever had. If I go back to Barcelona, I will definitely try to climb with them again. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a guide in Barcelona! One tip: make sure you are early for the bus. I showed up 5 minutes before the one I wanted to take and it had already left. I had to wait 1/2 hr for the next one which meant less climbing time.
