This is the representative course that people visit the most. The hike begins by passing the Jeomjae Shopping Mall and climbing up the slope. There is a rock ridge leading all the way to the top and a rope is attached. The outlook is that good. On the increasingly narrow Chiljokryeong Ridge, you must continue climbing and descending six peaks. Be careful not to slip as the ground under your feet is very sharp. There is also a memorial plaque for a woman who fell to her death at a young age. The sense of altitude is also great, so those with a fear of heights should descend to Gureumjaegol at the Munhee Village intersection, which appears about 200 meters from the summit. At Chiljokryeong, which forms the intersection, ride the southeast ridge. The road continues gently down to Jejang Village. If you go straight from Chiljokryeong, you will go down to Gajeongnaru, and if you take the hillside road on the right, you will reach Munhee Village. From Jejang Village, you can see the Chiljoknyeong Ridge and its peak at a glance.
