The Lomo del Chango in the Antioquia region is a very interesting spot with excellent climbing routes on granite rock. It is a day trip from the city of Medellín. The area has different sections with climbing routes of all levels.

The Lomo del Chango offers something for everyone. It is a great place for beginners or expert climbers alike. If  you have previous climbing experience, you can climb on a multi-pitch route to the summit (205 meters).

Rock Guide

I´m a local Climber settled next to the big rock "El Peñol" that loves setting new routes to share with the community around the World. Adherence and slap technique has developed my skills and it is what I try to share and communicate as a guide. I have been living and guiding in this region for about 7 years but my experience as a climber comes from adolescence, more than 15 years. I lead some environmental processes that pretend better management of this rock and the recognition of its history. I'm the founder of Corporación de Escalada de Antioquia, a non-profit entity in charge of the conservation and management of the Peñol climbing park.
