Day of Discovery (DOD) is about being active in the great outdoors, and on this month's DOD, iGuideKorea takes you ice climbing. Take advantage of the cold weather and climb up frozen waterfalls. The intricate ice formations of the icefalls are compelling and thrilling at the same time. They entice you to climb them. Using ice axes and crampons, you'll pull and push your way up the icefalls of Pandae Ice Park in Wonju-si, Gangwon-do. iGuideKorea has worked with the Ice Park and reserved ice climbs exclusively for iGuideKorea's climbers. Take advantage of this opportunity and take advantage of winter's ice; come ice climb with iGuideKorea.

The DOD starts with an important safety meeting followed by an introduction to the climbing gear including ice axes and crampons. Then after a lesson on ice climbing technique, climbers can challenge themselves on the icefalls.
