"No hands and die," Mr. Kim, the leader of Climbing Korea, said as he and two others prepped me before rappelling for the first time. It had been a lovely hike up Bukhan Mountain. The sun was out and the temperature was well over 80 degrees. I hadn't been nervous about the rappell down while climbing up, but as I stood there listening to pointers in broken English intertwined with Korean, I started to wonder if this was such a good idea. As with all new things I try while being here, I reasoned, "Well, yes, I'm in Korea!" And so, I rappelled down.
