Address

Beorimigijae pass, Wanjang-ri, Gaeun-eup, Mungyeong

You start at the Beorimigijae pass and cross Gomneomibong and Chotdaebong before the summit. The 4.4 km up is all ridge, so there is no water, and the rock above Chotdaebong has fixed ropes. From the top you drop down Piagol, steep at first, until the sound of the stream starts near Wolyeongdae and your legs loosen. You pass Yongchu Falls and finish at the Yongchu valley car park. It is a one-way route, so you need a car at each end or a taxi.
