Yongseo Pokpo August 15

[krisdodson]

August 15 will be my last weekend in Korea and I am hoping to spend it at Yongseo Pokpo. It'd be great if some of you folks came out and joined me!

[CharlesCullen23]

Wouldn't miss it for the world 누나 :) Can't wait to see you again! I will be there the whole weekend, so if anyone wants to make this a two day ordeal that would be sweet!

[QtipsQ]

I will also be there. I can't wait to have morning breakfast of a freshly killed Chicken. Also, Charlie I will be on Vacation, so maybe I will come down to your place and leave on Monday instead of rushing to head out on Sunday. Maybe....: )

-Q

[CharlesCullen23]

Absolutely

[nate45]

I'm so in for this one.

[TKells09]

Count me in! this will be one of my last weekends in korea as well.

[TheresaM]

I've heard so much about this place I'd love to tag along as well.

[Wes Harrison]

I'm one person who will definately be there.

[nicco33]

Ditto. I fly home to Canada on the 25th, so this may well be my last weekend of climbing in Korea as well... which means I'm more than willing to stick around for the entire weekend.

Charlie, are you back on the wall yet? How's the hand?

[CharlesCullen23]

Indeed I am back, and the hand is well enough to climb- Can't wait to climb with y'all again soon!

[krisdodson]

Just to let all you folks know, I will be heading out Friday night to sleep under the stars and watch the meteor showers (weather willing) and then climbing all day Saturday before heading back to Cheonan Saturday evening. Join me Friday if you're interested and we'll make a party of it!

[nate45]

I forgot about the meteor shower! awesome!

hey karissa,

ill be coming out to play friday night :)

[krisdodson]

Sweet! You should bring bananas and whatever else you put with them!

[yandy]

Isn't the meteor shower tonight and tomorrow morning?

[nate45]

The meteors peak tonight and tomorrow. however, from what I understand about how it works there is a good solid week window to see it.

[NearingPolymath]

I'm interested in the whole weekend, starting with the meteor shower Friday evening and ending with a nap on the bus ride back Sunday.

Where's the meteor shower gazing taking place? Could someone give me (really good) directions? My cell phone battery isn't dependable so I need to be able to get from beginning point to ending point without much adventure.

I've scrambled but never climbed. I come on this adventure looking to be a sponge for knowledge and a borrower of gear. Cool? Aiko, who isn't coming until Saturday afternoon-ish, said we could share her gear. ...is there anything I can/should bring of my own?

Thanks for your time, efforts, and love.

[CharlesCullen23]

Wherever you are coming from- take a bus to Gurye 구례 or Gurye-gun, (it depends on the bus station which one they show for some reason)
Once in Gurye you need to take a taxi to Yongseo Pokpo (용서 폭포) ~8-10,000 W, but if you meet someone there at the station it will be less (obviously). Once the cab driver takes you to Yongseo Pokpo, make sure he takes you to the restaraunt at the top of the hill and drops you off. Once you have reached the restaraunt, hug the left side of the restaraunt along a small little creek past the wooden statue with a gigantic penis, and cross the creek where the stepping stones are. Once across, follow the trail to the right and up to the crag- a 100 meters or so- not a far distance at all. As long as you stay near the creek bed you will find the place no problem! If you have any questions please feel free to call me- my number is 010-2891-3430-hopefully my phone will be on..

[NearingPolymath]

I mapped out transportation today. I should be sauntering in somewhere between 10-11p Friday.

Charles, I'll keep your number on me but hold no hopes that you'll answer should I need to call you. My number is 010-4992-4586, txt msgs are best as my battery has a cruel sense of humor.

[willpower]

Will.

[nationalpickleday]

Hey folks.
I arrive late Sunday night... so I won't make your gathering at the Pokpo when most of you will be there.
Anyone up to climb during the week next week (24th to the 31st)?

[bhermsmeyer]

Hey all,
Just curious if anyone would be rolling in early on Friday around 2 or 3 pm? I have the day off and would be glad to meet some people for a few climbs if anyone is interested. I can leave Gwangju around 1 pm or so. Bogue 010-5873-0100. If not, i'll see you all when you get there!
Bogue

[JessnJeff]

We're planning on coming. We're arriving Friday afternoon and staying through the weekend. In case we can't find the place, could we get someone's digits? Looks like a great climbing spot! Can't wait!

[CharlesCullen23]

call me at 010-2891-3430 :)

[NearingPolymath]

will there be a camp fire either night?

Also, does anyone have an xD memory card that I can borrow? Just got my camera but I don't hold much hope that my new memory card will be in the mail tomorrow. I could either mail the card back to you (Monday) or bring my laptop & download the pictures immediately on Sunday.

[jstarkweather]

I'm just now getting around to unpacking from this past glorious weekend and remembered that when Qasim was returning my quickdraws he returned one too many- So if any of you is missing a quickdraw let me know :) Oh and I also found a pair of spiffy glasses that were a bit smooshed but still wearable that may belong to someone. If so PM me.
