"Seoul National university route. False summit at the top and its 0.5k to the summit. After the false summit, you will take the trail down and lose elevation and the route will meet with another main route to the summit. At the top it looks like there is another route from the north(stairs see summit photo)" — markorrupt • Aug 3, 2024
"We parked a little far from the trailhead. Cost was 3,000 won. The trail was muddy. The trail has wooden steps most of the way to the top. There is also the ROK SOF memorial trail if you are interested. " — markorrupt • Jul 20, 2024
