This hike happened just one day after returning to Korea. So I had a couple of rice balls which Kikko made in Japan.

It was an extremely cold day. Yet there was no vacancy in the bus. The man who sat next to me was “OnNuRi” who looked as the same generation of me. (Good cameraman.)

There were several new commers including a young couple. We went through the town of DangYang. We arrived at YulJeon Villege at 10:30.

The trail was completely frozen, so we had to wear climbing irons at the starting point.

I offered Japanese sake which I brought from Japan at the first rest time. I kept the sake warm and people liked it very mch. They also liked dried squid along with sake.

It was almost noon when we reached at the redge. The leader suggested to have lunch there, before walking along the ridge, so we followed his advice.

Since it was so cold, people liked hot ramen very much. Chorompem cooked “odeng” before ramen. His odeng was really popular among AhToSan members.

After the lunch, we began ridge-walking against the strong wind. It was so strong that my whole body was almost flew away! I really regret that I did not carry a mask to cover my face.

In spite of the extremely cold weather, there were many Korean hikers around the stone post on BiRoBong. We had to wait to take a picture with the stone post. I felt frozen to death that time.

We took a short rest at the shelter hut near BiRoBong. Then began decending the mountain.

I noticed that several big trees of “Jumok” or “Spreading Yew/Taxus cuspidata” which I had seen in the previous hiking.

Windy place was only ridge area. When we began decending, we did not have strong wind any more.

I arrived at the destination at 4 p.m. I really appreciated the hot “bude” soup.

On the way back to Daejeon, we stopped at the famous sightseeing spot called “DodamSambong.” They are a group of rocks in the NamHangang River. But the river was completely frozen, so we could walk to the rocks.

We came back to Daejeon at around 8:30 p.m. It was my 8th hike for this year, and 226th hike with AhToSan in total. It was also one of the coldest hike I ever experienced in my life.

登山年月日：2011年1月29日(土)晴れ

登山コース：ユルジョン村(율전마울)-オイ渓谷(어의계곡)-主陵線三叉路(주능선삼거리)-昆盧峰（ビロ峰비로봉）-泉洞里（チョンドンリ천동리）(12キロ、6時間)

同行者：44名(外国人は私だけ)

今年も韓国へ戻った翌日の山行。前日喜久子につくってもらったおにぎりとカップラーメンを持ってアトサンへ。

今回は外国人は私だけ。極度に寒い気候だが、満車になるとはすばらしい。隣は私と同年配にみえるオンヌリニム(온누리님)。

初めて参加した男女も数人いた。見覚えのあるコンクリート工場と嶋潭三峰(トダムサンボン)を経て、出発点のユルジョン村には10時30分に到着。逆光の中、団体写真を撮って出発。



いきなり道がカンカンに凍っていて、アイゼンを装着した。1時間ほど登ったオイ渓谷でスズキタイム。今回はブドウがなく、ミニトマトもあまりよくなかったが、鶴岡のいなかから持参した日本酒の熱燗が評判よかった。また、つまみは剣先するめが好評だった。



オイ渓谷から稜線にでる付近で12時すぎになり、稜線に出てからは強風で食事ができないからと、ここで昼食にした。このような寒い時はラーメンが好評。とくにチョロムペムはおでんから始めてたっぷりラーメンを振る舞い、みな大喜び。また、私が持参したオールドパーも好評だった。

食後いよいよ稜線に出たが、うさわにわがわぬ強風で、70キロのこの体も浮いてしまうほど。また、顔を覆うマスクを忘れたことが悔やまれた。とにかく寒い。

毘盧峰では30人ほどの団体が写真のポイントを一時占領し、待たされた間が寒かった。

毘盧峰から少し下ったところに位置する待避所には先頭グループが退避していた。

この後、山を下りはじめると強風も収まり、楽になった。見覚えのある朱木も写真を撮り、泉洞休憩所に出る頃はすっかり風もなく、厳しさも和らいだ。

ここから泉洞駐車場までは意外と距離があり、一時同行したウポにも置いて行かれてしまった。見覚えのある泉洞里の登山路入口には3時50分に到着した。

ティップリはあつあつの部隊チゲ。一人１杯だけだがおいしかった。また、マッコリもうまい。

[The menu of "After-the-hike party" was "Bude" soup and Makgeolli,ティップリのメニューは部隊チゲとマッコリ、뒤풀이는 부대찌개와 막걸리]

帰路の途中、嶋潭三峰(도담삼봉)でバスをとめ、写真撮影をした。南漢江がみごとに凍り、みな子供のようにはしゃいで氷の上を走った。

南門には８時半ごろ到着。ワンルームにはちょうど９時に戻った。今年８回目の登山でアトサンの通算は226回目。昨年12/25の徳裕山に続いて、私の人生で最も寒い登山を経験した。
