[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Sancheong-gun Geumseo-myeon mountaineering club and social organizations have corrected the elevation markings on the summit stones of Wangsang and Pilbongsan, which were previously misrecorded.

According to Geumseo-myeon on the 18th, more than 30 people, including heads of social organizations and mountaineering club members, recently consulted with the National Geographic Information Institute to revise and replace the summit stone markings and held an unveiling ceremony.

The elevation of Wangsang summit stone was originally marked as 923.2m but has been changed to 925.6m, and Pilbongsan was changed from 858.0m to 858.2m.

Park Yong-gu, president of the Geumseo-myeon mountaineering club, said, “I am very pleased to contribute to correcting the heights of our region’s famous mountains,” and added, “We will continue to take the lead in regional development.”
