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!

No more grey zones about safety systems in rock climbing. No more second thoughts on partner trust. The benefits of private guiding are tremendous! Learn the safest way to practice rock climbing with hands-on activities and the greatest confidence possible. Even complete newbies with no experience benefit from private guiding through individualized attention and up to date knowledge. Our instructors are super fun and educational with more than 20 years of rock climbing experience and certifications through the American Mountain Guides Association.

Private Guiding gives the opportunity to really grow exponentially as a climber. In this small group environment, you will be able to get inside knowledge from the guide which you may not otherwise get. With detailed tips and instruction from a Professional, Private Guiding is perfect if you want to learn how to do your own outdoor climbing but need the proper instruction to get to that point. The guide will go over everything you need to know, in detail, so you will be able to go out and climb the next time and do it right. Small groups allow for more one-on-one training which will give you the best learning experience to quickly build your confidence on the rocks and mold a well rounded and safe climber. Our professional guides will be happy to answer absolutely any questions you may have about rock climbing whether that be how to set an anchor, climbing technique questions, or how to tie a figure 8 knot, they know it all so ask away! Even ask about other places you may want to climb in the future after learning all the techniques. Private guiding offers a lot of flexibility in what you would like to do.
