Is there any sport climbing on Saba. I am accepted into the Sept. semester and I think this is the one hobby of mine I'll be able to take with me to the island. No sense in bringing in a bunch of equipment if there are no climbers or climbing routes though.

hey,

there are a lot of beautiful hiking trails and ofcourse the scuba diving is world renowned, however, I have never heard of or seen anybody climbing. peace

Most of the rock is incredibly overgrown - this is jungle territory. Not much good climbing rock.

I am not personally a climber, but it is possible to climb on Saba. One of my house-mates on the island had his entire gear with him. I will try to get his contact info for you. I'm not sure who owned the rope that they used, but I know he had his own stuff with him. Primarily they climbed near the Sulfur Mine trail.. Good luck,

JS

isn't the whole island a climb?

Awesome. That would be much appreciated.

It is very possible. Me and couple othe guys regularly run the trails and have seen many climbable locations. There was a climber//diver here a while back who also tried to make SABA a climbing /diving vacation spot, but it never panned out --> Not sure why, but you can read more about that on the seasaba.com website.

I think it would be awesome If you could get some good climbing in here.
