Before you visit
RE: ANCHORS Anchors at Insubong are a regular concern. Although the bolts of the belay anchors are typically very solid, the Korean habit of slinging them with American triangles is prevalent. RE: BOLTED ROUTES Insubong is probably the longest climbed peak in all of Korea; hence, their are still routes that still have the out-dated and typically corroded ring-bolts. RE: RUN-OUT Insubong is primarily slab. Koreans love to run it out. SO KEEP THIS IN MIND!!! RE: CLIMBING TRAFFIC If you do not like jockeying for your route, waiting in line behind several other parties, sharing belay anchors, and having people precariously running every which way around you--DON'T CLIMB ON SUNDAYS!!! Saturdays and weekdays are generally fine.
Recommended equipment
Insubong has several bolted routes, but it would be extremely foolish not to bring the minimum of at least a complete rack of cams, five double slings, five single slings, at least ten quick-draws, and the like. Doubling up on the four midrange cams is generally a good idea. One 50M rope will suffice, however 60M rope would be the best bet. Passive gear would be a bonus; however, placements for them are very limited. Although not neccessary, a small off-set friend rack is handy on some of the flaring cracks routes. DEFINITELY BRING AT LEAST A FEW DISPOSABLE SLINGS FOR THOSE LESS THAN OPPORTUNE RAPS!
