Anyone know of a good one (indoor preferable)?

Thanks to Google I've found a few locations, but would appreciate some first hand experience.

Any advice on who has:
- good routes + bouldering?
- good holds and wall texture?
- good safety practices with top ropes/bolts/etc,
- mega busy or nice 'n' chilled?
- and of course: cost!

Thanks!

when I read the title of your thread I thought you meant climbing walls as in going crazy Laughing

and I was really interested in finding out why, boy was I disappointed, as for walls that you climb, sorry but no idea

I have no idea how much it costs, or even if its good, but I saw a big climbing wall last week in Boramae Park....

Happy hunting.

there's one on the right of the road between Seoul Station and the river that goes past Shin Yongsan. I think it's around Huam junction.

There's a climbing wall in Riverside Park somewhere along where it goes past 'Seoul Forest'.

There's another one next to Sookmyung Women's university subway station.

Sorry, that's all I know...don't know how you'd go about joining a club or which wall is best, or where good cliffs are.

there are plenty of mountains all over. i'm sure you could find a million places to freeclimb if you just went off the trails and went exploring for an afternoon

anyway, i was just talking about 30-40 foot little faces to play on, not crazy jumps at 300 feet.
