Week-end climbing

Seoninsan Park

Sarah and Nic at Soksal Bawi

This weekend on the calendar marked the springtime get-togther for Korea on the Rocks, the foreign climbing community in Korea. We met the other climbers in Seoninsan park after a 4 hour train ride from the city. The scenery here is perhaps the most striking I've seen in the south half of this peninsula. Flat, stretching rice fields gave way through the window to rolling hills of cherry orchards, and then to the mountains of Seoninsan. After a bit of an epic approach, we arrived at Sokal Bawi, where we climbed until the sun touched the treed horizon.

After a soju, slackline and striptease-dancing (of korean male variety) -filled night at the campsite, we spent Sunday under cloudy skies and the rock at Halmae Bawi.
