Every journey begins with one step as the old saying goes. My first experience climbing anything bigger than a small hill began in 2002 at Mt. Wolchul Provincial Park in South Jeonnam Province. From the picture it may seem an odd choice as the first step in my metaphoric journey but in fact this mountain is a pretty easy climb. All of the trails have stairs almost 90% of it can be climbed on a wooden boardwalk. The mountain is famous for it's "Cloud Bridge" and reaching this point was a moving experience for me and motivated me to climb more peaks! I also chose this mountain to represent my core courses in the MET program because they, like it, were challenging but prepared me for what was to come. They, like the mountain, were by no means simple but were essential in getting me ready for my MET experience.
