BLACKYAK announced that it is recruiting participants for its June hiking academy. The program is designed to offer a variety of early-summer hiking experiences, including long-distance traverses, night hiking, and sunrise treks.
The newly launched "Cheonggwang Traverse" covers a roughly 20-kilometer route from Cheonggyesan Mountain to Gwanggyosan Mountain. Participants will climb more than 10 peaks in sequence and take in views of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province from a ridge where the city and nature meet.
Safety support accompanied by Blackyak Sherpa
The hiking academy will be joined by outdoor experts known as Blackyak Sherpa. They will guide the course and teach safety rules for night hiking as well as how to use equipment, helping participants complete the trek safely.
"Jirisan sunrise trek" is a program that welcomes the sunrise at Nogodan Peak, one of the three major peaks of Jirisan. The course operation and schedule are carefully managed so that even participants unfamiliar with early-morning hiking can climb safely.
Base-camp-based academy operations
Since 2024, BLACKYAK has been running the academy from base camps and major stores located in Bukhansan, Jirisan, and Cheonggyesan Mountain. Through a range of classes, including the 13 Fortress Gates Traverse, half traverses, night hiking, and Trail Running School, the company offers brand experiences.
"Cheonggyesan Mountain night hike" is operated as a healing-focused program that lets participants enjoy the city nightscape and hiking while climbing the quiet mountain after work. Details on each program's recruitment period and application method can be found on BLACKYAK's official website.
Plans to expand overseas academies
BLACKYAK said it plans to expand its global presence this year by introducing overseas academies such as "Baekdu Mountain Heaven Lake Trekking."
