Hey there, I am coming into Busan around 1 pm on the 16th and would love to climb there or in Seoul! Let me know if you are interested in meeting up anywhere, I have barely climbed at all in over a month and am just dying for something...

I'll be climbing at Mucheksan (http://www.koreaontherocks.com/climbing/areas.php?area_id=26) this weekend, not far from Busan, Gimhae, Masan, etc. . . I can do a pick-up from Gimhae bus terminal (or Jinju. . .Changwon, Masan. . .gotta kinda go thru all of 'em) Planning to leave here early Sat. . .return Sun PM

Ok I will let you know... I have to be in Seoul on Monday for a Fulbright thing. And actually I've never really been in this part of the country before, so if you could pick me up somewhere, how long would it take to get to that somewhere by bus so I could give you an ETA?

ETA? Hmm. . . I guess it would take me 30-40 minutes to get to the bus terminal (I over estimate because I usually under. . . I think) a bus from Busan to Gimhae. . . maybe about the same (so you could call/text when you get on the bus), basically. I am guessing on all of this.

OK, so B and friend will be in Busan Fri, and were going to meet me in Jinju Sat AM-- which is great for me. I suppose they have enough room in their tent for more than L, who i, I believe, the tiniest KOTR member anyway. . . L-- you remember the tent from Chuseok, 'cuz it used to be mine!! So you've shared it with 2 others before!! Anyway, I don't mind picking you up Sat afternoon separately in Gimhae. At any rate, you'll have a place to stay. B-- if for some reason y'all get bogged down in Busan, you can probably meet Lindsey who gets into Busan from Japan around 12;30.

Busses to Gimhae, Jinju leave Busan's western Seobu Terminal rather often. To Jinju it's about 1.5 hours, Gimhae. . . maybe 30 minutes or less? L-- call me when you leave Busan for Gimhae, and I can probably meet you when you arrive. Seobu terminal is on the Busan subway line-- Ssasang station I believe. Anyway, 4 will be good. I suspect they'll be more folks there Sun, and I opened the trip up to others at my camp (there are a few climbers). . . Cha Cha has been emptied (I have a temp apt!!) and can now hold 5-6+ gear!!
