Thank you, guide brother Goxx, for guiding me, a beginner in mountaineering, to a rock course without ropes or fences. It was a new experience 👍

It is very accessible to Bukhansan National Park and is accessible on foot from the subway station Bulgwang Station, so it is highly recommended as a place with a great view.

A peak that even beginners can climb in 30 to 50 minutes. If the weather is clear and the visibility is good You can see the northwest of Seoul, Namsan Mountain, and the Han River. It is a place with wonderful scenery. However, it is not a beginner trail. Although the height is low, you can climb up the rock wall in the middle. It has an intermediate level of difficulty. But if you go up slowly, It is a place that even beginners can climb.
