청석굴암장

About this crag

Cheong Seok Gul is a small roadside crag. There are about 10 climbs on this sedimentary face. Most of the climbs are about 15 meters long. Almost all the climbs start on some degree of overhang. The anchors seem pretty good though a few of the bolts near the bottom of the climbs are bad. There is at least one anchor about 60 meters high, though I didn't climb the long pitch(s) to get there. The easiest climb here is a 5.10c. After that there is a 5.10d, some 5.11a's and b's and then on to some harder 5.11's and a few 5.12's thrown in for good measure. Climbing Grades: 10 - 12 Type: Rock Climb Style: Sport

Before you visit

On a few of the routes, the first one to three bolts are really bad, rusty and sketchy. After that, the bolts seem fine.

Recommended equipment

10 draws and a 50 meter rope is good for any of the single pitches. Not sure what you need for the long multi-pitch.
