We’re climbers living in a van across Europe – Vanlife Climbing
For 2+ years, we’ve been living full-time in a van, working remotely, and climbing everything we can find. Traditional climbing guides focus on routes. We focus on the logistics that matter.
Where do you actually park overnight? What’s the cell coverage like? What will it really cost?
Our guides combine detailed crag information with practical vanlife intel—GPS coordinates, connectivity, budget breakdowns, and honest beta about every location we visit.
Why We Built This
- We searched for the information we needed and couldn’t find it
- We wanted to support local climbing communities ethically
- We believe van climbers deserve detailed, honest guides
- We wanted to build something real—no Instagram fantasy
