Description

Sunny and right next to a road and bridge. Parking is limited to about 2 cars on the edge of the road. Only about 10 meters tall. This area has about 10 routes ranging from 5.8 - 5.13c, easy on the left and hard on the right (don't quote me on that last sentence, haven't been there in over a year). Sport climbing... about 8 draws will do it for all the routes. You can set up a top rope by scrambling up the right side. Route names (Korean) and grades are painted at the base of each route.

Getting There

Drive east from Dongducheon past a small town and turn right to go around the south side of Gamaksan. You should pass a tunnel being constructed. About halfway down this road you will see the crag on your right as you cross a bridge. Park just past it and walk through the gate to the crag. If someone else is parked there, you can park about 500 meters further down on the left where all the hikers park.
