The desire to climb new itineraries has allowed him to open more than a dozen routes on Catalan walls, such as the emblematic Pedraforca, and enjoy two first ascents of two 5,000-meter peaks in the Cordillera Real (Bolivia), with Hora del Mate 430 meters graded 6c on Emma Maria Peak, and Coca Leaf 600 meters 6b on PK24 Peak. All this background has enriched him personally and technically, leading him to want to turn climbing into his profession. Being able to share, with those who wish, climbing, either from beginner levels through courses and itineraries tailored to those who are just beginning, to advanced levels where the scope of the activity reaches what each one can dream of..
