After a fun weekend climbing in Busan, we weren’t ready for the cold weather to take over just yet. One final ridge climbing weekend in Daedunson was the perfect way to end our outdoor rock climbing adventures in Korea
A friend we met in Busan, Aaron, came up to stay at Matt’s apartment Friday night so we could get an early start Saturday morning. We caught a 7am bus that took 45 minutes to the start of our hike up the mountain. With only a quick stop here and there and a water break at the Buddhist woman’s cave, we were at our starting point within 50 minutes. It was surprisingly warm weather which gave us an opportunity to shed some layers of clothing and climb comfortably. Matt started us off with the first lead climb of the day followed by Aaron’s crack climbing lead next. Though I didn’t lead any of the climbs due to my lack of knowledge on top belaying, I enjoyed finally learning the set-up so next time (most likely in the states) I will get my chance. I’ll let the photos tell the rest of the story.
