Last week one of my younger students came in to chat with me before class started. We were discussing our favorite summer activities and I told him I loved rock climbing. The next day, as soon as I walked into school he came bouncing out of his class to give me a brochure for a climbing gym in Songtan and Pyeongtaek. He said he went with his parents and had a really great time.
Although I knew this gym was in Pyeongtaek City, I hadn't realized there was one in Songtan. I hadn't even thought to look. Of course I had to to check it out. I mean, it was recommended by a third grader.
The gym is about 5 minutes walk from Seojeongri Station. It's only bouldering, but that's fine with us. We climb outside on weekends so we are just looking for a place to train a few hours during the week. The owner and climbers were very welcoming. Sure, they didn't speak much English, but you can figure things out. The Harri-bou-bou will be joining the gym after summer holiday and I will most likely join this winter.
They gyms are open Monday - Friday but closed on the weekends.
They stay open until 10 or 11pm.
The price is 80,000 a month.
Discount for couples membership.
Discounts for 3, 6, 12 month plans.
Not sure the price for kids/families.
They don't usually do single use.
There is an are for storing gear.
