Ganhyeon combines easier slabs, face routes and 5.12–5.13 cave climbing with a relatively straightforward approach. Consider cool sunny days, check that its limited 5.11 selection suits you, and walk in from designated parking.
Gochang’s Halmae-bawi offers vertical to gently overhanging pocketed sport climbing, an alternative to steeper Seonunsan sectors. Confirm the Gochang location, current access across local land and the Korean route names before travelling.
Insubong offers granite cracks, friction slabs and chimneys in Bukhansan National Park. Insu A and Chouinard B are graded YDS 5.8, but still require trad, multipitch and descent skills. Take the Ui–Sinseol Line to Bukhansan Ui Station, then a taxi to the Baegundae trailhead to save the uphill road walk.
Janggunbong in Seoraksan has Front and Southwest Walls with granite cracks, slabs and face climbing. A2O and the Standard Route offer different grades and lengths. Choose the face and full route before arranging park authorization.
Jeokbyeok is a west-facing granite wall beside Biseondae, with steep cracks and overhangs. Solo is listed as 5.8/A1, Echo as 5.11c/A2 and Mura as 5.9/A4: the free grade alone is not a route-selection guide.
Munsusan offers upper and lower south-facing gneiss crags near Ulsan. Sunshine makes it a winter option but a warm-weather drawback. Choose your sector and route length before planning the observatory parking approach and return transport.
Seoninbong offers granite cracks, slabs and multipitch climbing in the Dobong area of Bukhansan National Park, reached from subway lines 1 and 7. Moderate grades still require protection and descent skills; check named-route notices, especially around the area affected by rockfall.
Seonunsan brings vertical faces, pockets and steep sport routes into neighbouring sectors. Soksal and Tugu offer demanding climbing, while Mun includes easier routes. Choose the sector for your grade and sunshine, and treat temple-side access separately.
Ulsanbawi in Seoraksan offers granite cracks, chimneys and multipitch routes. The complete ridge is a different, multiday objective. Choose the wall route or ridge first, then confirm park authorization and the approach.
Yuseondae combines ridge climbing and southwest-facing granite multipitch. MP lists Longing for Two as 5.8 and 11 pitches, and Yoosun AB as 5.10b and six pitches. Choose the style before planning the approach and descent.
