When I took this photo, I can't imagine the whole trail is covererd by snow

There are totally four official trails could access the summit. However, two of them have been closing for over a decade for recovering its ecology

I chose the hardest one - Gwaneumsa trail to climb up

Here is the place for final checking. Food, water, equipment could be supplmented here.

A pair of crampon is a must when hiking in winter

Nice to see the sign to remind you be harmonious with the nature

Interesting to know that in ancient times without fridge, people would use this cave to store the ice

The sign is quite frequent to let you know your position

Gwaneumsa trail (8.6km) would take you 5.5 hours to the summit

In the first 3.2km, it's quite gentle and easy to handle
