Bouldering near Seoul this weekend?

[chuckdokmo]

Hi there,

I'm new to KOTR and am visiting from Okinawa for a couple weeks. I'm staying in Songtan (Osan AB) and I have the weekend free, so I was hoping to link up with some climbers to boulder near Seoul. I only brought shoes and a chalkbag, but I've got a cell phone while I'm here: 010-7218-2701.

I saw some sweet bouldering pics from one of the trip reports (near Insubong in Bukhansan National Park). I can boulder up to V3 and occasionally V4/5.

Thanks!

And if you've still got some gas left after bouldering in the cold, you can always rope up on Sunday.
Check this thread if interested: Surisan Sunday!! December 6!

Gabe, your thread link failed terribly. I'm considering how this might influence my saturday night consumption.

Thanks for the replies!

I've got a couple questions about getting to Dobongsan on the subway:
I'll be coming from Songtan, so just trying to read the subway map, will i need to change trains at the intersections? I counted 48 stops in between... how long would you estimate the travel time on the subway?

As for Surisan, I'd be stoked to climb there, but I'd have to borrow a harness. Let me know if someone's got an extra one they wouldn't mind bringing for the day.

My cell managed to quit. I'm recharging the batteries in hopes that it will work.
