Title says it all. I know a few crags in Seoul. Nowon in particular.
Open to ideas. I'm down for rock or artificial walls. I just got 12 new quick draws that need breaking in. I know of a huge artificial wall that was used for the X-games that never seems crowded.

I am down for some climbing in Seoul. Let me know what ideas you have in mind.

HEY! I JUST moved to Seoul and I live in Nowon! I am definitely a beginner..so I wouldn't want to hold you back at all...but I would LOVE to join you!! Before I moved, I used to climb every once in awhile at an indoor gym..and I've gone bouldering once before. If you wouldn't mind a beginner tagging along...I'm down

I vote we hit up 3 artificial walls in Seoul.

First we meet up at Ttukseom Resort Station, line 7, on the Han river.
We climb until we are hungry and then break for lunch.

Then, 6 subway stops (two transfers) later, we arrive at Eungbong Station. This wall looks interesting. We can climb here the rest of the day OR if we're feeling a little froggy we can jump to another wall near Boramae Station.

The Boramae wall looks like a romantic place to end the day with a little walk, surrounded by laughter, in a cozy, park atmosphere.

Ttukseom sounds good for Saturday morning. What time were you thinking about Layne?

If it's before lunch then I could maybe join y'all. I bet Erica, Deirdre, and Les might be interested as well.

I think 9am sounds good. Remember people, it's Ttukseom RESORT station line 7 NOT Ttukseom station line 2.

Ah, but what about Sunday? If it rains (and it may), 02 once more? If not, somewhere outdoor? Anyway, Sunday is when I can climb.

I'll climb with you sunday.

Should we plan for the same type of climbing as the saturday trip? ie. outdoor artificial? or should we search for a crag?
If it rains hard, O2 sounds good. If it's just a light drizzle, ma nizzle, we should climb outdizzle fo shizzle!!! YA HEARD
