@syskwl, what a fantastic journey up Suraksan! The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing the rugged beauty of the mountain perfectly. It's disheartening to hear about the vandalism of the peak markers, but inspiring to see the resilience of the community in preserving the spirit of the mountain.

I especially appreciate your reflections on the social commentary woven into the narrative. It's a thoughtful touch that elevates the post beyond just a hiking log. The images of the vendor selling refreshments on the peak are a delightful surprise – a testament to the human spirit even at the summit! And "멍텅구리바위" - I love the name! It's quirky and memorable. Thanks for sharing this adventure and sparking reflection. Have you conquered any other peaks recently?
