From the Neunggang valley mouth the path follows the stream past stone cairns to Eoreumgol, then climbs from Eoreumgol Pass up to the summit. From the top the ridge runs down past Peak 795 into Sangcheon-ri. The Jecheon city guide allows 5 hours 40 minutes from Neunggang to Sangcheon. Shady on the way up, rocky on the way down, so it feels like two mountains in one day.
