Climbing

Hi everyone,

I am from Belgium and in Seoul just for a couple of days. I was wondering if anyone was willing to do some bouldering or climbing one of the next days (30th-31st or 1st). Conditions for bouldering seems perfect. I got all the gear for climbing but no crashpad.

I am really motivated and just love to do some climbing here in Korea.

Anything is good for me.

Xiao Lin.

a few of us are planning to head to the RB's (river beds) for some bouldering on sunday (maybe saturday as well) this weekend.
you're more than welcome to come join in.

not sure what time we are meeting yet

most likely going to be at the RB's tomorrow and Sunday. Tomorrow from around 2pm and probably all day sunday.
you can find directions on this site.
hopefully you can make it out.

Hey Andy,

Thank you for replying on such a short notice. So I guess you are all taking the subway orso? If I join you guys lets say how do we meet than？ what time you are planning to stop？

For the rest, does anyone know if you can do some bolted sportclimbing around Seoul with easy public transport connection. Some 5.11-5.12 routes would be more than nice.

Xiao Lin.

im not sure if you are going to get this in time, but ...

we are meeting at Gupabal station at 1.30. so if you can make it there at that time you can find me there... if you dont make it there in time you can get on the 34 or 704, or 8772 bus and then get off at bukansanseong stop (where all the kitted up korean hikers will get off) and walk up the road/trail until you see the first clearly chalked "big" boulder in the middle of the river bed. we will be at it - or just under a another boulder next to it.

or you can call me on 010 6408 8310 (however i may not have it on me)

as for easily acessable sport routes theres a couple but they are not my forte. just do a search on this site.

hey Andy,

today is not going to work, sorry. But tomorrow probably will. What time are you planning to go than? early start is no problem for me, but there is a chance to leave a bit earlier as we are with two persons here and I do have to keep in mind her company.

anyway looking forward for some climbing.

ps maybe silly question, but you have crashpads?

bye.

Xiao Lin.

yeah we will have at least two crash pads tomorrow. maybe more... working on problems around V4-6...
not sure what time we will meet tomorrow. probably around 11-12
