Mae-bawi (Surisan, Gunpo) Rock Climbing

Few different ways to get to the crag. I have uploaded pictures if you want to follow the 1st way.

1. (09/02/2020) Put in your destination to Gunpo Jungang Library (군포중앙도서관) in your Naver or Kakao maps which will get you to the start of your hike. When you get there, walk up the big concrete driveway (pass the library on your left as you are going up the hill). Hike up the hill for about 6-7 minutes and turn right at the sign leading to the temple. Go up the stairs and you will pass the temple on your left. pass the shrine and keep hiking until you get to a T intersection. turn left and walk 50-100 meters until you see a deerpath/hiking trail on your right. take it and follow it til it hits another T intersection. take a right and there should be an even smaller hiking trail 10-20 meters on your left after turning right. Follow it up a steeper path for about 5-6 minutes until you see the crag appear suddenly on your right. From the library the total approach time should be 30 minutes. Pictures with arrows guiding are in the photos! 

2. Small quality sport crag accessible from Geumjong station Subway line 4 by a short bus (bus 15) ride from exit 6 to the Gunpo Junang Library for the 20 minute approach. Walk up the dead straight concrete driveway to the top, and turn right after the temple onto a trail. Walk for about 5-10 mins and head up the slope to your left. Follow a water course and you will see the crag.

3. (From the book Climb) Take the subway to Geumjeong 금정 or Sanbon Station 산본 (Line #4). Take a bus heading to Gunpo Library 군포도서관 and get off there. Hike up past two mountain springs and by a big utility pole, following the sign for “슬기봉” Seulgi-bong, until you see a sign that says “임간교실” Imgangyosil. From there, you will see the crag to your right. Hike up for ten minutes. It will take thirty-five minutes to get to the crag from the library.
