가래비-GAREBI
|
|
|
|
Garebi is actually the name of the town located in Uijeongbu. The ice climbing park was previously a quarry and is located just on the outskirts of the small town no more than a few miles. The average length of each fall is roughly twenty-five meters. There are only a few anchors, but plenty of trees to make your own from. All routes are perpendicular from the deck.
Just below the main wall, there is another ice fall roughly ten to fifteen meters in length, too. There are no anchors, however, atop this fall, but plenty of ice to make your ow... [Read More]

갈미한글공원 (Galmihangeul Park)
|
|
|
|
One boulder, near a gravesite. About 3 meters tall. Possibly undeveloped. Who owns the land is not obvious. This *might* be of concern for climbers.
Three obvious problems. Left corner is easiest and goes at around V0 - 2.
A line directly up the overhang looks high quality. Difficulty looks like around V5 - 6.
Right corner may be more difficult.... [Read More]

광명인공암벽장

Crowded on Sundays, this is a nice wall in good condition with a climbing for all levels just west of Seoul.
Located in a huge outdoor park, it has a pretty good vibe and has good facilities.
Uniquely, this wall has fixed quickdraws on all the routes, so you won't have to bring any. Makes leading a lot easier too.... [Read More]

매드짐 (Mad Gym)

|
|
|
Mad Gym Sport Climbing is a relatively new gym in 금천구 / Geumcheon-gu. The head instructor is 김인경 / Kim In Kyeong.
This gym has more space dedicated to bouldering, but the circuit routes are maybe a little more popular. On some nights, half the gym is closed for coached training sessions.
Mad Gym is somewhat unique in that both its instructors (김인경 & 문지연) are female. Both have many years of diverse climbing experience. 김인경 also sp... [Read More]

아람 클라이밍 짐 Aram Climbing Gym
|

|

There is no cost per day - the owner Mr. Oh (a really nice guy) said just to stop by (maybe the first time is free?) - but membership is 70,000 per month...
The gym is open Monday-Friday from 1-11. It may be possible that if you make friends with the owner and show yourself to be respectable and trustworthy, you may be allowed to come outside of regular gym times (ex: mornings, weekends, etc...). Also, the owner and gym members regularly go to natural climbings areas, such as Seonunsan, and you would likely be able to join them.
There are a... [Read More]

안산클라이밍 (Ansan Climbing)
|
|
|
|
안산클라이밍 / Ansan Climbing is among the newest gyms in Gyeonggi-do, opened in 2010. It's a basement gym but with some windows. Clean and well-lit. A really nice aesthetic here. 김병국 / Kim Byeong-Guk, the gym's owner, is a well-established climber from Ansan. He's really mellow. Most the climbers here seem to welcome foreigners.
Are loaner shoes available? (I'm not sure yet)

The 내손동 (Naeson-dong) CruxZone gym is an average-sized bouldering room on the 6th floor of a building. The gym is technically located in Uiwang, the neighboring city. It is owned by the Camp 4 shop (also in the area).
Most the climbers here only practice endurance training.
Very little English is spoken, by staff or by other climbers, so it's not the best place if you can't speak Korean well. In my month climbing here, I observed the members doing more non-climbing than climbing. That ranged from hour-long stretch... [Read More]

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
- Outdoor wall - vertical > gentle overhang
- 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]
