Jangtaesan Revisted with a Vengence

Summited Jangtaesan...Colin and I climbed the tourist route of the adjacent mountain then spotted this one. There was no trail so we had to rough it up through the dry thorny brush, and at times on all fours grasping to any rock ledge that we could. What a rush to reach flat ground..
Colin on the easier trail climb.
DOG FARM! (Said in a forceful and aggressive tone of voice)
The weather was spectacular.
Climbing down the first moutnain...trailess...love it.
This is the second mountain from halfway down the foist.
Rock clusters litter these mountains. I think if you add to the pile without it collapsing you'll live a long full life...if it does collapse.....instant DEATH.

WE made it!

These little Buddahist shrines were also scattered throughout the second mountain...which makes one wonder why there wasn't any trails. Empty and full bottles of soju are left for the spirits???...I don't know.
The brush was honestly like climbing up fibre glass.
The road dividing the two mountains deep in the valley.
I met a friend on my way down. We had a GREAT debate over who we thought was more attractive: Scully from the X-Files or the girl from CSI Miami.
An old outhouse. Comfortable.
The exterior of the outhouse.
More scratches.
People also leave little trinkets for their loved ones who are buried in the mountains. This person must have loved travelling.

PEACE

Great climb and photos. You've even got some red stuff here - especially your debating friend. Want me to list them as entries in the February Photo Challenge?

Aunt Barbara started a monthly photo challenge a couple of months ago. February's theme was red.

Unfortunately, we didn't get much participation. You, however wore a red shirt, bled red blood and visited with a wise man dressed in red. Therefore, you have several photos that met the requirement of featuring something - anything - red. Congratulations.

Looks like a robust climb.
