Last Saturday I went up Geumosan with a few friends from Daegu. I had previously done this mountain and written about it here and here. Both of these times were later in the year, and it was considerably warmer.
Actually the weather here has been fantastic for March, but the top of Geumosan still had plenty of ice, so we didn't try for the stone Buddha I wanted to get to. Instead we went for the peak, which is a great hike in it's own right and offers spectacular views of Gumi and the surrounding valleys.
We made it up the mountain in good time and Jarrod was good enough to bring makgeolli to the summit. I was impressed that everyone made it up okay and was really happy that it seemed so easy for me, after the last couple of times when it was a real struggle (all that gy and running must be paying off).
It was a great day and I'm hoping to do it again in May with whomever is interested to see the Mae an Buddha, which is the real treat up there.
