Behind the cemetery you step straight onto the ridge. The climb runs long in one direction, so legs tire first but there is no way to get lost. In late April both sides of the ridge turn pink. At Daedongmun the fortress wall path begins, and you decide whether to carry on toward the summits or head down.
