(1) Here's another look at the ridge from Hyangnobong
Peak on the way to Bibong Peak.
(2) This is the other crux. This part is actually more
dangerous than the previous ones. The granite wall we
had to ascend was wet and what we were stepping on was
on an angle, and was also wet.
With
the help of old grandmas showing us off, we proceeded with the
ascent. We had a heart pounding moment and a few scratches but
we managed to pass the crux safely.
This is Bibong Peak (560m/1837'). It took us half an hour from
Hyangnobong.
We
passed by this Samobawi Rock on our way to Seunggabong. I
was a bit disappointed I didn't see anyone trying to ascend
the rock.
(1) This is the final ascent to Seunggabong. More wet granite.
(2) At Seunggabong Peak. It took us 40mins from Bibong Peak.

These are Bibong Peak (left), Hyangnobong Peak, and Samobawi
Rock (right).
(2) This is Munsubong Peak. We decided to leave this for
another day hike.
Seunggasa Temple
For our descent, we went back to the Samobawi Rock to
hit the Seunggasa Temple trail. The temple didn't seem
very far from the rock but trail led us to a long descent
and around the foot of the temple. Since we had to go
up again to see the whole temple, we didn't bother going
for the full tour.
