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

Happy customers

Highly recommend Fabi! He is super organized, friendly and safe. He was on time, prepared with everything we needed, fully explained everything we needed to know and made sure we felt safe during every step. He’s super encouraging and really knows what he is doing!

What an amazing experience! We took the beginners class, and so happy we did, Fabi was very knowledgeable, breaking instructions down step by step making it easier and fun to learn! After learning all the important safety steps we got to climbing right away, with fabi right there giving us pointers on the best route to take. I left class feeling more confident in my abilities to climb. Fabi has such a chill, friendly, and encouraging way of teaching, it felt like we were learning with a friend. I highly reccomend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Fabi!

Had such an incredible time doing my first trad rock climbing multi pitch! Coach Jakob was extremely professional and taught my friend and I so much. We went up over 2,000 feet and got to the top of a stunning mountain in Idyllwild. He was informative and we felt completely safe the entire time. It was a fun and beautiful adventure. We would highly recommend Jakob and Chillino Rock Climbing Group for your upcoming adventures!

My partner and I just finished an intro climbing class with Chillino and it was fantastic! Our guide was Fabi and he was knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging and always put safety first. A great introduction to outdoor climbing with an emphasis on learning basics the right way and having fun, whatever your skill level. We started with an overview of equipment, a short hike in Mission Hills and a thorough training on using the equipment. We had the chance to do several lines at our own pace. All were a good challenge! Overall, a great class and highly recommend :)

Absolutely incredible experience! I hardly have any experience as a climber and Fabian did a great job at showing me the basics and making sure I knew how to safely and adequately climb. There was plenty of time for me to get my hands dirty and the location was beautiful! The team that came along was very positive and encouraging! Would definitely recommend Fabian's climbing options!
