ken4ord Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Anyone been too Seoul or have any good links? I am going there in a month for a week long family trip. Won't have much time for climbing, but if there is some nearby bouldering, that would be fun. Got any suggestion for good places for brew (coffee or beer) or good eats, let's hear them. Quote
skyclimb Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Hey, Its been a while good to see you traveling! There is a free public climbing wall on the river in downtown seoul, with easy access via one of the city rail lines. It has been a while since I was there, so can't comment on its exact location, but it was good for a outdoor climbing wall. I know you probably don't have time, but a hour or two from the city is a lot of really good limestone in and around Wan Ju Some of the cleanest granite I have ever climbed on is in Sorak San national park, with a few hour approaches through monestaries in the mountains up to the 3-5 pitch white granite spires...mythical. Hope this helps, have a great trip! Quote
Mattski Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I have topos of the main climbing areas in town, Insubong and Dobungsan 3 to 7 pitch granite domes, accessible by bus and train. Namdaemun is the market with the climbing gear. email me if you want topos in english. Great climbing! Quote
111 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Watch out for flashers at the climbing wall! I know a few folks who encountered them. Quote
sobo Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Watch out for flashers at the climbing wall! This can be taken at least a couple of different ways... Quote

I heard about Wan Ju and saw some pictures, it looks great, but like you said I don't think I have the time for that. It seems like there are few public walls in town and some bouldering, that is probably what I will have time for. Quote
