The entrance to the National park on a Sunny October weekend. Everyone must pay an entry fee of 6,000 Korean won.
Our first day was filled with sport climbing up a quiet river canyon that is really only know by the climbers. There were about thirty routes from 10- 90 meters long.
An off the beaten path sport crag with up to four pitch routes.
While hiking in the park I had to check out the many random possible boulders in the rivers and strewn in the forest.
On the second day we hiked to Ulsan bawi about an hour. Before leaving the park entrance we enjoyed another tasty breakfast of Bibimbap at one of the many restaurants.
The granite cliffs of Ulsan-Bawi. There are many sectors most routes are 90-140 Meters long and are three to five pitches.
The summit of Ulsan-Bawi, the bright white granite is heavenly. Above the cliff face is a tourist hiking trail that traverses a short section of the ridge line.
After a long day of climbing we hike back down to the national parks camp ground about 4 km from the park entrance. There is a small village with 2 shops and three restaurants we had some steaming buckwheat noodle soup.
The last day we went hiking to check out the other multipitch area Bisondea and the General. There was a climbers hut here a few years ago but it is now gone.
There are a few bolted multipitch routes here. A superb 9 pitch mixed sport/trad 5.8 is the most trafficked route. Do not plan to.climb it on a weekend.
The park is only a 3 hour train ride from Seoul and then an hour by public bus up to the park.
