    An iron ladder path through a hole in a rock that must be passed through in order to climb up to Cheonwangbong after passing Jeseokbong. Even in the 1980s, when there were almost no facilities on the Jirisan trail, there was a Tongcheonmun iron ladder.

      Cool rock formation. The path is well-maintained with many steps and some ladders, so good shoes are essential. Due to the altitude, there is often snow or ice, so crampons or poles are also recommended.
