The Singapore National climbing Scheme (SNCS) Level 3 is developed for climbers who want to acquire and experience multi-pitches climbing on bolted natural sports walls. The course is conducted in accordance to the SNCS level 3 syllabus, developed by the Singapore Mountaineering Federation (SMF) at different climbing sites over the duration of six days over at the established climbing sites in South Korea.

Korea is also nicknamed the “Asia Yosemite” due to its beautiful granite rock outcrops that spread throughout the national parks in Korea. The walls are in superb condition and are no strangers to the local mountaineers and climbers. The selected season is the best time to be in the outdoors and climbing towards the autumn season make climbing and learning a pleasant experience. However, here may be occasional typhoons in September, which means storm may be expected during the course.
