Basic Top Rope Belay Course
iGuideKorea’s Top Rope Belay Course covers the most basic rope system for technical rock climbing. Completion of this course allows novice climbers to be participating members of more experienced climbing teams. Top rope belaying is the gateway towards climbing higher and more difficult rock cliffs and mountains. The foundation of this course is based on establishing safe climbing protocols and habits. Learn a new skill, get outside and begin your new adventures!
Rock Climbing in Korea
South Korea is covered in mountains. The country is composed of 70% mountainous terrain, and within that landscape, there are amazing unique rock formations that await to be discovered and climbed. With hard granite ledges in the north, pocketed limestone in the south and everything in between, the South Korea is a geological gallery that is easily accessible (check out the iGuideKorea special podcast on the rock climbing in South Korea). In this environment, world-class climbers and mountaineers have been forged, and life long climbing partnerships have been fused. With an active national and expat climbing community, rock climbing is a excellent way to experience the country.
