Address

Government Complex Gwacheon Station exit 8, Gwacheon

Leaving Gwacheon Government Complex Station, the route passes a rock-carved Buddha, climbs the Sixth Peak ridge, crosses the flag peak and the Eighth Peak, then drops by Toad Rock and Munnomi Pass to Seoul National Univ. Station, roughly 9 km. Every summit means more scrambling up and down rock, so progress is slow. There are no technical sections, but reports keep telling you to bring a short rope. Risky rock faces have bypasses, and near the Eighth Peak you squeeze through a gap called the dog-hole rock.
