Rock Climbing

Hey everyone,

I've read that Saba has some of the best rock climbing opportunities in the Caribbean.

Anyone taken advantage of this? I've been getting into climbing for the past several months and was really excited when I found out that Saba has some excellent rock climbing conditions.

Rock Climbing

I was in saba on July 6 with my wife. We wanted to visit the island before we begin our lives there in sept. Wow am I glad we did. I got to meet a lot of great people, not only from the school, but on the island also. I met some guys from the school that rock climb, but I dont think its overwhelmingly great. The rock is extremely sharp and there are no good landing spots. As far as I am aware, they dont have any sport or toprope, just bouldering. Some of the guys said they like to go out when it storms, which was the cause of some extremely narly scrapes. Anyway, hope this helps.

Climbing

There used to be a couple on Saba who climbed some of the rocks out by the airport. They worked at one of the dive shops. However I believe one or both of them have left. Other than that I haven't heard of anyone doing any actual rock climbing.

Although you do a tiny bit of free-style climbing on the North Coast Trail.
