Rocks, Ridges & Big Sky

#summervacay Went for a hike on the Kalbawi section of Sinbulsan in Ulsan, and man, it was epic! This part of the trail is all about that rocky ridge energy. The climb’s a bit of a leg burner at times, but it’s so worth it once you hit those open views. Started off in the forest, super peaceful, birds doing their thing, then you’re on this exposed ridge with giant rock slabs everywhere. Kalbawi literally means “sword rock,” and yeah, the name fits. It feels like you're walking along the edge of the sky, with valleys dropping off on both sides. The views are absolutely next level. I just sat up there for a while, munching on snacks, watching clouds roll by, and soaking up the breeze. Got that big mountain feeling without needing ropes or gear. Sinbulsan’s got a bunch of routes, but if you're in Ulsan and want drama, views, and solid terrain, Kalbawi is the move. Would 100% do it again.
