Great weekend in Seonunsan Park
Hi all,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we had our first weekend out climbing Korean rock this weekend after being here about 2 and a half weeks. It was super fantastic and I'm really looking forward to more weekends climbing.
We went to Seonunsan Park. It has GREAT routes! There is a whole guide book dedicated to the area (but only in Korean) and I would guess maybe 80 routes all within less than a 1km radius (on two main rocks). Most of the climbs are from Intermediate and up, but there is a Beginner rock as well (we just didn't find it, or else we did but we didn't look properly because it isn't used as much and it was wet from the nights rain.
Its about 2 hours by public transport from our place in Gunsan, so it might become our local crag. So if anyone is planning on heading out there for a weekend let me know!
Peter
P.S. Thanks to Mr. Kim and his family and friends from Rock Odyssesy Gym in Busan for helping us out and showing us around. It was great to meet you all and we hope to climb with you soon again!
