Baekunsan Slab Rock
|
|
|
|
Granite reminiscent of Pukhansan, these slabs dominate the valley wall opposite "Ice Valley", Gajisan Provincial Park. Developed in 1972 by Pusan and Taegu climbers, there are six routes on the lower slab (10d/10c/8/7/8/7) and seven on the upper (9/9/10b/10c/9/7/11a). Some are 2 pitches. Additionally, a short crack (1-2") on the left of the lower slab can be led and there's a fun boulder problem just right of that--with a Korean-style crash pad underneath.

A Sport-y(capital S)-sport gem in an area better known for old trad, aid and ridge lines, it reminds me a little of Halmae Bawi, though it backs up to a romantic ... [Read More]

4 bolted routes and a lead-able crack (opportunity for additional pro exists) on a hard to get to face. The first two routes are nice lines-- a 5.10 route up a series of flakes and a 5.11 corner crack up a series of roofs-- the other 3 require some bushwhacking and start on less-than-ideal ground. Still, the face is so beautiful it gets it's own overlook!... [Read More]
