CLIMBING WITH
​OCHO ESCALADA

Ocho Escalada is a climbing school established in Tenerife by a team of passionate climbers who left their native lands in search of new challenges on rock faces. When their paths crossed in the rock climbing paradise of Tenerife they 'set up shop' and a wonderful hostel, for like minded outdoor sport enthusiasts. 

From here they offer;
  • Climbing courses
  • Guided climbs of varied lengths
  • Workshops

​In climbing there are no helpful genes or miraculous training to make you a good climber. You have to learn it step by step, using your head. So if you fancy trying something new or if you really want to push yourself to be the best you can be, the team at El Ocho are waiting to get you scaling those rock faces.
