South Mt. Woodson is a climbing area in Rock Haven Spring Open Space, a city-managed open space in California. It sits on city land, and the nearest town is Ramona, about 4 miles away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ramona show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 82°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. That station sits about 670 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several other climbing areas lie within a short distance, including Rock Haven Spring Slopes, Deb's Boulder and Road Side Circuit, each about 0.2 miles away. For a hike, Warren Canyon Trail is about 0.7 miles off.
