Nice rock with great positive cracks, pockets and ledges. . . and a drive-up approach! (well, you have to cross a stream, and some of the routes actually start in the stream!) From Yongsan, head towards Yongsan College on a road that follows a dry stream. As you leave the urban part of the city, you'll pass Hanseong Apt on your right. The rock is about 1 kilometer before you reach the college, opposite a coal facility (which hums all the while). You can see the rock down and to the right, and there's a pullout for a couple of cars.
Busses heading to the school might let you off there (though I didn't see any), or it would be an easy taxi ride from town (though maybe difficult to get one back).
Some high first bolts, and the anchors are really scary. If I go back, I'll bring new webbing and a knife. Scramble around left (from the bridge) and you can reach the top to set top-ropes or change the anchors. . . which, did I mention, are really bad. OLD old webbing, rusty rings, or just bolts with no anchors at all. A rope/wire runs along the top, but I am not sure I trust this as much as some of the beefy trees.
Sadly, the opposite side is a little trashed. . . people have dumped stuff by the river, but on the crag side it's pretty clean. A wire brush and metal ring have been left for the ambitious. With a little TLC (and some new anchors) the place really has a lot of promise. . . the rock and routes are quite nice!

OK, so I had nightmares about those anchors, and went and made some changes. . . there are still a few anchors further back on a tree that are rusting and old, but the worst of the worst are gone now!
The changes are shown here:

Good Job, Sonia. I remember that you were scared to rappel that route when we climbed together.
