Busan Bouldering Sat the 8th

[choss monkey]

Anyone down? I have 3 new locations that I'm thinking of, or we could just go back to the same valley as last time. I guess it depends on how many people and pads are going to show up. There's a really sweet new line that only heather and I have seen. It's really close to that highball that we ended the day with last time. I don't think it will go with less than 2 pads though.

I also have a place here that has a pretty easy approach and it's just above Guseo Lotte Castle. Plus I'm working out the travel logistics for a new place I found in Yangsan on Thursday that will have everyone wondering (once again) why Koreans don't boulder. I seriously think that once it catches on in this country we're going to see some amazing areas pop up. But then again, maybe we don't want that, It's nice bouldering without the crazy crowds that you get at the sport crags here.

I'm down to stay near Ulsan, so I would love to accompany you. I'm down for whatever area on Saturday. Let me know what you wanna do.

I'm not blowing everyone off, I'm still trying to figure out travel logistics for the valley of the screaming adjushi. If that doesn't go, It'll have to be in Busan proper. I'll post up with the specifics on Thursday night, and I'll try to PM you guys back at that time.

Jason, I just checked wunderground, and it looks like the weather's crap for the weekend. What say you?

[choss monkey]

I may just bus it to the valley of the screaming adjushi then and explore even if it's raining. Anyone is welcome to join. Since I won't be bringing a pad, I won't feel bad about taking the long way there. I figure it will be easier to figure out the fast way once I'm there and I'm trying to get back to Nopodong. And if not that, I have a lot of other areas that I'm still exploring.

where and when is the meet-up?

[brothertupelo]

hey, i'm in pusan, in the jangnam/haeundae new town area with all the teachers. i probably won't make it tomorrow, though.

Unless there is a drastic change in the weather forecast this will not be a bouldering trip. Right now it's showing a 60% chance of rain. It will be really fun though just seeing what kind of potential this place may have. You may want to bring a rain jacket, and I highly doubt I'll be bringing a pad. Depending on what happens there is one other area by this one that may have potential too. Let's say a 10am meeting time at Nopodong subway station. (write down my number from my profile if you need to) We should be able to grab bus 12 there. I'll double check to be sure and post back up if I'm wrong. The way there shouldn't be too bad, but this will be be my second time there and my first time to go there by bus. Once we're there you may actually find a better route back depending on where you live. Bus 12 just seems like the best way if you're in Busan.

Brothertupelo your profile is so new that it doesn't even say what city your from. If you live in Busan, I'll be doing some weekday morning bouldering at the falls on Tues or Wed when the weather clears.

It's kinda strange that brothertupelo's answer came before your question, Jason... crazy technology!
