Mt. Woodson, San Diego. Thousands of high quality granite boulders that are sprinkled over the hillside of the mountain near Ramona. Woodson is quite a special climbing area since many of the boulders are too high for just a crash pad but too short for a legit lead climb. That is why this area is often described as a "world class" top roping area ;) with many of the boulders featuring bolted TR anchors. Climbing styles are typical for California desert granite with many excellent crack and slab climbs and a few face climbing lines. Many classics routes are home to Woodson just as the one in the picture – "Rockwork Orange" (5.10b) is the definition of a perfect dihedral – 30feet/10meters of a perfect corner featuring a parallel sided (splitter) crack between the left and right side. Mostly climbed with ropes due to length and bad landing. @shepherdimages thanks for capturing this one. See you guys out there! Fabi

Germany sandstone… This one is a unique form of sandstone rock in Germany's low mountain range "Eifel". The town of "Nideggen" has a collection of numerous sandstone cliffs that have a high concentration of river rocks baked into the sandstone. Since many of the climbing sections are made up of more river rocks than actually sandstone – the look and style of climbing is unique. Germany's rock climbing icon "Wolfgang Güllich" in his earlier career once visited "Nideggen" and he compared the rock to climbing a vertical potato field ("vertikaler Kartoffelacker"). That description seems to be just right. Here on some good summer times Germany with first time rock climbers Peter, Thomas and Klemens.
