Place: Mt. WolChulSan (808m), in YongAm, JeonNam Province
Course: CheonWangSa – Crossover (The Cloud Bridge) – CheonWangBong – GuJeongBong – HyangNoBong – MiOkJae – DoGapSa (Temple)
Partners: 42 members including Bernardo (Mexican) and Po (Thai)
This is my 4th hike to climb WolChulSan. My first hike with AhToSan was this mountain back in November 2004. So, I climb this mountain almost every 2 years since then.
This is my 49th hike this year. I set my target of frequency of hiking as 60 times a year. So it is supposed to be my best year in past 8 years. Yet, what I felt was “I became old” though I hate to admit this.
Anyway, I got up at 4 a.m. and prepared for the hike. The bus left at 6 a.m. with 43 participants including myself and Bernardo and Po (3 non-Koreans.)
A good photographer, “Superman” also joined this hike. Superman is one of the few members who joined AhToSan before I did. Since he moved to Seoul a few years ago, he could not join us often. But according to Bernerdo, he recently came back to Deajeon, or at least, near to Daejeon. It is good news for AhToSan since he contributes AhToSan by uploading wonderful pictures of hiking.
[A group picture before hiking, 登山開始前の団体写真、등산 시작전 단체사진]It took about 3.5 hours to arrive at the CheonWangSa. We began hiking at about 9:50 a.m.
The first 30 minutes is always tough for me. Yet I was not too late to arrive the famous bridge. I could take pictures of other members, and they also took my pictures there.

[Autumn color of the mountain,月出山の紅葉、월출산 단풍] At the first peak after the bridge, I offered fruits and Makgeoli wine for others. It is called “JeongSangJu” or “Wine on the summit.”
At that time, I was with the top group people. But while I was offering fruits and wine, some of them, including Bernardo and Po, went ahead of me.
["JeongSanJu" or "Wine on the peak"、マッコリの「頂上酒」、막걸리 정상주]Well, after the first peak, we had to go down for about several 50 to 100 meters in the steep slope. Then we had to climb up to the steep slope again to reach CheonWangBong.

[Near the peak、頂上付近にて、정상부근에서]I had lunch with most of the top group people there. I saw Bernardo and Po there, but they kept going farther, and I could never catch up with them in the rest of the hike.

[Autumn color of the mountain,月出山の紅葉、월출산 단풍] The mountain is full of nice spots to take pictures. So, people were busy taking pictures. Especially those popular cameramen such as Superman were busy taking pictures. They are also good hikers. So, after taking pictures of slow hikers, they could go fast, and easily pass me.

[At the field of silver grasses with AhToSan members, ススキの原で、억새밭에서]They greeted me when they pass me, yet I felt rather lonely because I realized that I had no power to catch up with them. After taking some pictures at silver grass field with other members, I walked down from the mountain almost alone.
While walking along, I found several beautiful flowers called "rindo" in Japanese. According to wikipedia, it is called "Gentiana scabra" in English. I saw many of them in Shikoku when I climbed Mt. Tsurugi and Mt. Ishizuchi, but it is rare for me to see them in Korea.

Anyway, I came out to a temple named “DoGapSa” where there were many people sitting in front of the big hall. It seems some big event going on there.
[A gathering at a temple,道岬寺での集い、도갑사에서 모임]Finally at around 4:30 p.m., I arrived at the parking lot where they were having “Tippuri” party.
The menue of “Tippuri” was rather simple: Tofu and kimchi and Deodeok makgeolli.
We finished “Tippuri” at around 5 and came back to Daejeon at 8:30 p.m.
This was my 49th hike for this year and my 216th hike with AhToSan.
日時：2010年10月23日(土) 曇り
登山場所：全南（チョンナム）、霊岩（ヨンアム）、月出山（ウォルチュルサン）(808m)
コース：天皇寺（チョンファンサ）～陸橋～頂上(天皇峰（チョンファンボン）)～九井峰～香炉峰（ヒャンノボン）～米王材(すすき畑)～道岬寺（トガプサ）
同行者：メキシコ人ベルナルド、タイ人ポーを含む42人
月出山は2008年11月に続いて4回目。2004年11月にアトサンで初めて登っていら、ほぼ2年ごとに登っている山だ。ということはアトサンに入会して6年たったということ。
今年は過去8年間の韓国生活の中で登山に関しては一番充実した年であるはずなのだが、月出山に登って感じたのは体力の衰えだ。
今回の出発は6時のため、4時起きして飯を炊くなどの準備をした。南門にはベルナルドとポーがすでに着いていた。
今回の参加者は私を含め43人でほぼ満席。久しぶりにスーパーマンも参加した。ベルナルドによれば彼は数年前、大田からソウルへ職場が変わったが、最近また大田の近くに転勤になったという。
さて、現地までは3時間半かかり、登山開始は9時50分ごろだった。集合写真は、人数が少ない時の練習はうまくいったが、ほぼ全員そろった時の写真はなぜかボケてしまった。
天皇寺から陸橋までは相変わらずしんどいが、陸橋までは先頭グループからさほど離されずについて行き、ベルナルドたちをいったんは追い越した。

[Autumn color of the mountain,月出山の紅葉、월출산 단풍]しかし、陸橋を過ぎた後の頂上で栗マッコリで「頂上酒」をふるまったている間に、また彼らに追い越された。
このあといったんおおきく下ってからまた登る道。天皇峰でスーパーマンやチョロンペムらと昼食にしたがベルナルドとポーは先頭組について行ったため、昼食は別々になった。

[Lunch near the peak,頂上付近で昼食、정상부근에서 점심] そしてその後、下山後のティップリ時まで一度も彼らを見ることはなかった。おそらく自分が遅れたからだろう。
[Along the ridge,稜線にて、능선에서]途中、一時、カッチやチョンジョンとも一緒になったが、結局最後まで私と一緒に歩いたものはいない。なんだか孤独な山行になった。(それでも登山路の脇に咲くリンドウを見つけた時はうれしかった。四国の登山では剣岳でも石鎚山のどちらでもリンドウを何度も見かけたが、韓国では珍しい。）
[Gentiana scabra("rindo" in Japanese), リンドウの花、용담 꽃]稜線の最後はススキの原だった。ここまでは多くの会員とともに歩いたが、下りではチョンジョンに追い抜かれ、スーパーマンにも追い抜かれ、他の山岳会の人々にも抜かれ、道岬寺の駐車場に着いたときはほとんど最後になってしまった。

私の後には足を痛めたヨウと彼女の面倒をみたヨロ大将ぐらいしかいなかった。
ティップリは豆腐とキムチの簡単なもので、5時には終わり、帰路についたが、南門に着いたのは8時半過ぎだった。
体力の衰えを実感したハイキングだったが、今回は今年49回目、アトサンのハイキングは通算216回目だった。
