Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the Forum, it's not exactly an upcoming trip so much as a search for upcoming trips.

I'm traveling through Korea en route to China on a round the world trip. I really enjoyed this weekend in Yongseo Pokpo. Because I really enjoyed the climbing, & thanks to a few lovely people offering to let me sleep on their floors, I'm able to be in Korea for the next ~10 days (maybe more!) and am up for sport climbing or bouldering!

I'm not sure if I really want to go back down to Busan because I spent nearly a week there. But if there are any other trips going down this weekend, or if anyone has weekdays off and somewhere for me to sleep, then please let me know.

I can (just about) lead 5.10b (french= 6b) and I only have a harness and shoes with me.

Paul mate come on up to Ganhyeon then this Sat and Sun. It will be the perfect crag for you, lots of 5.9-5.10b stuff as well as harder if you like. Great camping options too by the river with all facilities. If you lack a tent and bag, you can probably get a minbak with someone (cheap backpacker type thing) or open bivvy...won't be too chilly now.
Here's the link, it takes about 2 hours from Seoul or Daejeon by car/ train/ bus. Be quite a crew there I think.

Hi Paul
I'm Mao, I'm also on climbing holidays in Korea. I spent 3 awesome days at Gahyeon last week and I'll be happy to come back for more, there are so many 5.10s to do that 3 days are not enough.
so, if you wanna go back there or even just climb at one of the walls in Seoul.
send me an email to ballen.mauricio@gmail.com

PS: I have a sports rack for us to use
