This program is for those who climb regularly and feel comfortable and confident with the skills already learned in the Basic Beginner, Advanced Beginner and Intermediate Climbing School Programs or requires participants already have a solid base and fundamental understanding of the aforementioned skills sets instructed on our programs. We also recommends that participants feel comfortable with multi-pitch scenarios on moderate graded routes in difficulty and exposure. This program focuses primarily on teaching students the fundamentals behind traditional rope skills with an effective and comprehensive approach. It is a must do program for those interested in learning how to effectively manage basic systems employing the most minimal and basic amount of gear necessary– rope, carabiner, cord and slings.

Hiking approach times vary from between 45 minutes to an hour and fifteen minutes depending on crag destination for that session and overall group speed. Approach trails to crags are typically steep and very direct in style, This is a fantastic way to experience and see some of Korea’s more unique outdoor locations along with getting into great shape by the end of the fifth week.

Camping is required for the summit climb for all participants due to sunrise start times in order to avoid climbing traffic. Camping costs a small addtional 2,000KRW fee and will also be offered, but not required, each Saturday evening by no later than the third week and will typically meet at the Ui Sports climbing shop at 6:30 p.m. After every Sunday climbing sessions‚ all are welcome to join together for Dutch-pay food and beer with your instructors and peers.
