AhToSan regular hike #263(My 197th with AhToSan): Name of the mountain is Udusan (Bull Head Mountain). There are 9 peaks in this mountain. The main peaks are UiSanBong and SangBong which are twin peaks. They say it looks like bull head, that’s how the name came.
“UiSan” comes from the famous monk named UiSanDaesa(AD625-702) during Silla period (BC57 to AD935) because UiSanDaesa meditated on this peak.

It is not very far from Daejeon. The bus left at 7 a.m. and arrived at the foot of the mountain at 9:30.
The course was from GeoGyonSa temple – JangGunBong – UiSanbong –SangBong – MaJangJae – GeoGyonSa: 14 km, 6.5 hour hike.
This time I had a young companion from Japan. M came to Daejeon last month and began working with B at the same research institute.

This time, another foreigner, D from Russia also joined us. Actually, D has been a good hiker, and he already joined AhToSan hike more than 10 times. D and M are also colleagues, and they are same age (27), youngest among AhToSan members.
It was M’s first hike in Korea, but he used to hike in Japan, so he did good job as the first hike in Korea.
This course was a bit tough because we did a lot of rock climbing, up and down from the beginning to the end. Hiking distance was also long. So, it must be hard for M, but he did good job.
The weather was super fine. Although I saw a little bit some snow, and ice in the mountain, it was warm enough to wear only a short sleeved shirt.

The number of participants was only 22, half of the last time. But most of them were familiar to me, so I could enjoy the hike and the whole trip, esp. with my new pal, M. Though he speaks good English, we talked in Japanese from time to time.
The “tippuri” was fried eggs with chestnut “Makkori.” I enjoyed both fried eggs and chestnut “Makkori.”

PS: The destination was recently changed from Maisan (Horse Ear Mountain) to Bull Head Mountain. (Maisan is famous for its cherry blossoms.) This is because Maisan area was prohibited for hikers in order to prevent “bush fire.” In my opinion, the precipitation of Korean peninsula is much less than Kanto area in Japan. So, most of Korean mountains are in danger of bush fire. Actually, I witnessed the certain area along the route of this hike was burned because of bush fire. All pine trees in the area were burned and the trees were all dead. I guess fire-fighters did good job to stop the fire in the limited area.

アトサン定期登山263回(私は197回目)の登山は慶南・居昌(コチャン)の牛頭山(ウドゥサン우두산)で９つの峰からなり、そのうち最も有名な峰は義湘峰(ウィサンボン의상봉：1045m)である。牛頭山という名前は、主峰の義湘峰と上峰(別名「別有山」が双子の峰になっていて牛の頭のようなためだと言う。

また、義湘峰の名前は新羅時代（BC57～AD935）高僧である義湘大師（625～702）がここで修業をしたところからその名があるという。
大田からは比較的近距離で、バスで２時間半ほどで到着。９時４０分には登山を開始した。
今回のコースは古見寺～将軍峰～義湘峰～上峰(別有山)～マジャンジェ(마장재)～古見寺というループコースで、約14キロで６時間半のハイキングだった。
今回は久しぶりに私以外の日本人、Mが参加。また外国人としてはロシア人のDも参加した。
MもDも、メキシコの友人Bと同じ職場で韓国天文研究院の同僚だ。また、年齢は二人とも27歳で、アトサン参加者の中で一番若い。この若さで海外に雄飛して活躍する将来有望な若者たちである。
Dは昨年から何度もアトサンに参加しており、通算では１０回以上になる。Mは先月韓国へ来たばかりで今回が初めての登山だ。
しかし日本でかなり登山したらしく山歩きには慣れているようだ。今回のコースは岩場が続き、登りも下りも急な場所も多く、アトサンのハイキングの中でも難易度が最も高いうちに入る。
しかし、天候にも恵まれ、また楽しい仲間にも恵まれ、最高のハイキングになった。
参加人数は２２人と前回の半分に過ぎないが、かえってまとまりが良く、昼食も一緒に食べた。

ティップリは女性会員が卵焼きを次々と焼いて、クリを原料としたマッコリのつまみにした。このマッコリはティップリ担当の会員がわざわざ大田の隣の市である公州まで行って仕入れたものだ。

また、久しぶりに日本語で話すこともでき、満足だった。
PS: 今回の登山地は、元来、全北・鎮安の桜で有名な「馬耳山(マイサン)」の予定だったものが、干ばつによる山火事防止のため登山禁止区域に指定されため、急遽変更されて決まったものだ。韓国はすくなくとも関東地方にくらべ、降雨量が少ないようで山火事の恐れは常にあるようだ。今回の登山ルートでも1カ所山腹から尾根まで松の林がすっかり丸焦げになっているところを目撃した。
