From central Seoul this is a bit of a mission to get to, with a long “bike path commute” required to reach it but it’s been on my hit list for some time and didn’t disappoint. This is a fairly tough climb with a Strava segment that rates this a shade over 9% average, starting out with an initial 4% this doesn’t hang around and quickly ramps up to sections of between 10-15%. There is however rarely a vehicle to be seen, so take advantage of an outside line round corners and climb slowly at your own pace.
