rock climbing Joryeongsan Sinsunam iGuideKorea

Discover Korea and Discover Yourself with
iGuideKorea's
Day of Discovery

Join the adventure and come rock climbing and camping with iGuideKorea and friends from November 10 to 11, 2018.

iGuideKorea's Day of Discovery (DoD) is your opportunity to get off the beaten path and explore South Korea's amazing natural playground. The country is made of 70% mountainous terrain, and in those mountains are beautiful geological features wanting to be climbed. It's also a great way to meet new friends with similar interests as you bond in the outdoors.

Rock climbing is an exciting, challenging, and healthy activity that helps you to gain confidence and overcome self-doubt. When you climb high above the ground hanging by your fingertips, you learn to master your fear and anxiety as you reach higher and harder to the top of your goals. You'll be amazed on what you can accomplish.

This month's DOD

THIS MONTH'S DOD
Day of Discovery (DOD) is about being active in the great outdoors. For this month's DOD we will be climbing is Gyerongsan rock climbing iGuideKoreaall about granite rock climbing. You'll be using your legs, core and arms to pull and push your way up the large cliffs of Sinsun-am in Joryeong-san. (Google maps opens in a new tab).

The granite cliffs have slabs and cracks that are common features of higher alpine-like climbing. The grandeur and remoteness adds to the cliff's allure, and with moderate routes for novices and intermediate climbers, Sinsun-am is a great adventure destination.

After an exciting day of climbing, we continue the outdoor experience with remote camping. When the sun goes down the campfires and marshmallows come out! We'll gather around the warm fire and share stories of the day.
