Yongmasan (The Pictures)

If you are a faithful follower of "Seoul Far Away", you are aware of a recent conquest of Mt. Yongmasan.  The following are pictures which serve as irrefutable proof of the great feat.

Trailhead.

Easy going on lower stretches of
route to the top.

Celosia along trail.

Palgakjeong Pavilion, set on side of
Mt. Yongmasan.

Ascent to Palgakjeong Pavilion.

From pavilion looking downhill
and out over Seoul.

Exercise area adjacent to pavillion.
Gee whiz...I think my
backpack is weight enough.

Conqueror at the summit.

Conqueress at the summit.

Unfortunately, crystalline skies do not always prevail.
Looking out over distant Han River from the summit.

The descent. 
Still afoot before adopting the much
more efficient
stop, drop, and roll down the mountain technique.
