A pretty new and very well equipped gym in Bucheon City (southwest of Seoul). AC in summer / heating in winter.
The gym is quite large and consists of 3 exercise spaces: - Main room: lots of bouldering + more advanced routes

- Miscellaneous: easier routes + campus board + general fitness
Despite the impressive size of the facility, it is (as the name implies) a family-owned gym. This is a huge p... [Read More]

Basement Gym with cut out in the roof with some short lead or top rope problems. It has a cave in the center and most of the walls are overhung, but there is a "beginner" area. The people are nice and some of them speak a little english. I've seen everything from beginner lessons to a core of very strong regulars who justify the overhung conditions. There variety of training gear, from weights to fingerboards, though much of it is hung upside down or on inclines. It gets VERY hot in here in the summer months.
Coaching is available for a... [Read More]
