First thing I noticed: insanely clean. Most gyms I’ve been to feel like gritty construction zones (which can be cool), but here you have to go barefoot and—get this—they even have showers! After climbing sweaty, putting on clothes is usually brutal, so that was a game changer. No official grades, just 10 colored tape routes from top to bottom. Normally I’m around V2, but here I flashed almost everything under V5. Grades definitely feel different. Climbing gear is like 20-30% cheaper than back home. Big shoutout to Gear at Chungmuro 5-ga — took forever helping me find shoes for my weird feet but they were super patient. Seoul climbing was a total win. #sport #climbing #bouldering
