Description 

One of the classic peaks in Seoraksan National Park on Korea's West Coast, Janggeunbong (The General) boasts about 12 routes (some are variations) 2-8 pitches up high-friction granite with cool features and stellar views. Bring your friends (and their friends. . . there are a few bolts here and there, but these routes take gear), spend the night at the Pisandae shelter just below the climbs (they have bunks for rent cheap and excellent food. . . or a cooking area if you bring a stove). Beta is available at the shelter or on www.koreaontherocks.com

Getting There 

To the shelter, it's about an hour hike in from the park entrance. From there, depending on the route it's about 30-50 minutes.
