About

This site was born from a real need for up-to-date and comprehensive information on rock climbing around South Korea, especially in English.

After living and climbing in Korea for 7 years, I felt it was necessary to begin documenting all the information I wish I had when I first began climbing here. I have been fortunate to explore routes with many people in the foreign rock climbing community in Korea, learning where to go and what online search terms to use in Korean. Not everyone has that same opportunity, especially short-term travelers. Climb on Korea is changing that.

The climbing in South Korea is world class, and a bit of a hidden gem in the global climbing community. My hope is that this site will help give you the information you need to get out and enjoy some of the beautiful mountains (or gyms) that Korea has to offer!

My very first multi-pitch climb in Korea circa. 2018
