Bukhansan

This mountain I climbed is part of the most visited national park in the world, with over 5 million visitors per year. Strangely, though, I found myself alone for most of the climb. There’s a big wall near the top that was part of an ancient fortress. It was kind of dangerous to climb because the rocks were slippery from the rain.

Below: Alone at the top.
