Has anyone ever been here or heard anything about this place? It's an island located about 130km off the east coast of Korea in Gyeongsangbuk-do province. Dusty and I are planning a weekend trip for our anniversary and are wondering if there's any known climbing here. From the city website, I gather that there is climbing. I just want to know more specifics of where, what style, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

All I know is you'll be lucky to get there. I booked to go twice in the last year, but the boats were cancelled because of choppy seas, even though the weather was good inland.

This might help.

rebs,
if you search forums for ulleungdo (http://www.koreaontherocks.com/forums/search.php?searchid=22523) you'll get several posts from sonia...looks like she had the same experience as yandy, but if you need the climbing beta she'd be the one to PM. she'll probably recruit you for her book!
note: it's not japan (supertpz might get lynched for that comment ;) ), but she did say she needed her passport when she went.
