Since 2019, a total of 2 billion KRW has been invested in the artificial climbing wall, which was built as a four-story building with a total floor area of 373.51㎡.

The main facilities include an outdoor lead wall (32m×32m), a speed wall (6m×16m), an indoor artificial climbing wall, and shower rooms.

The lead wall is an artificial climbing wall where climbers compete to climb the highest within a set time, and the speed wall is where they compete to climb the fastest.

Each facility is equipped with an auto-belay system that automatically prevents falls, and shock-absorbing mats are installed on the floor to ensure users' safety.

The operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, with two safety managers assigned to ensure that anyone can use the facilities safely.

Halmaebawi Rock in Gyesan-ri, Asan-myeon, which is 60m high and 50m wide, is also a representative rock climbing spot, and climbers say they never forget the thrill of stepping on the cracks of the rock and climbing step by step.

A county official said, "We hope this becomes a representative spot where residents can enjoy recreational sports," adding, "We plan to operate sports climbing education programs in the future."
