a 2-day hike in the center of Korea

day 1, 4:54 AM and fighting. now that I know how nice it is to hike in daybreak-cool, 9 AM heat makes me shudder.

nothing but mountains in every direction

home for the night, 6:40 PM

drinking my fill of rice wine

two people on the far right - my rock climbing teachers. man with the hat on my left - owner of the hikers lodge who tried to set me up with his son.
