Wonju Pandae Artifical Ice Park

Pandae is similar in construct to Yong Dong Ice Park, although smaller in total climbing area. Pandae has four areas all situated across a rock face. From the left the first area has ice up to 25M and has a large number of natural anchor points (some with slings and rings attached to natural features already) across the top. There is no access up the back so all routes for Pandae must first be led before top roping is possible. Ensure you bring a strong climber who can lead and place a TR. About 7 ropes are possible on the far left area. 60M ropes are required plus ability to make anchors if required.

The second area to the right of the first is a 60M pitch that will require a 100M rope and a additional 50m or 60m rope tied together. About 6-8 ropes would be possible spaced out within this area, however for some reason the ropes seem to cluster reslting in people climbing side by side and sometimes on top of each other. In the the middle the ability to climb and fix an anchor halfway up the pitch on some exposed rock is possible (depending on ice coverage for the season). Come equipped here to rig your own anchors above.

The third area is even higher at around 80m while the fourth is around 20-25M, similar to the first area.

Sundays see are large inflow of people, but the possibility may exist for someone to take your rope up if you are not confident enough to lead the route.

The quality of the climbing is good and while not ideal for absolute beginners ( 85-95 Degrees in most areas), the 25m areas will be okay to kick off. Happy climbing.
