Destination (mountain):Mt. Jiri, Chottaebong, Seseok Hightland
Hiking course: Georim – Seseok Highland – Paengmudong (14 km, 6.5 hours)
Partner: 33 AhToSan members
I got up at 4 am and prepared for the hike. We left Expo South Gate at 7 a.m. as usual. We arrived at the starting point named Georim at almost 10 a.m.
It was a fine day and I saw several beautiful flowers near the entrance of the trail. When I was walking after the top group, a stranger called my name. “스즈키님, 안녕하세요!” I did not recongnize her, but she said she had joined AhToSan several times before and she rembered me. That day, she joined a different hiking club, but began to hike at the same place as ours.
We had the first break at 10:50 a.m. The top group people did not take rest and kept climbing the trail, while I offered mini-tomatoes and grapes as usual. This time, many membered ate all of my fruits (4 packs) all together, so my bag became much lighter after the break. Some of mebers offered cold “makgeolli” and it also tasted very good.
Then we had the 2nd break at 11:30 at a bridge. A newcomer gave me some roots of a plant called “Hasuo” which I saw for the first time.
Later, I found “Hasuo” as “何首烏” in Kanji, and in Japanese it is called “ツルドクダミ”and in English, Fallopia multiflora.

It is a herbaceous perennial vine used as tonic medicine in oriental medicine, but I found it very tasty. He also gave me a small peach which was hard and nice.
We had lunch at a rocky ridge from where we could have good views. I always enjoy Korean-style lunch where we share our side-dishes each other.
After having lunch we arrived at Seseok Highland at 1:30 p.m. It is an unique place as Korean moutains, because it is wetty even though it “highland” just like Oze Field. Therefore there are many beautiful plants and flowers just like Oze.

I saw blue flowers of gentrians, white thistles and “San-oi pul” in Korean, etc. I did not join the top group who made a round trip to Chottaebong from Seseok Shelter, but joined the main group who began decending to Baengmudong along the valley. The decending trail was a bit difficult because of so many rocks, but I could manage to go fast. So I was one of the first men to arrive at the parking lot.

The water in the river in the valley became more and more as I went down. It reminded me of the valleys in Seoraksan National Park. But when I came to the 3 km point from the destination, it began raining and rather hard.
I arrived at the parking lot at 5 p.m. I got wet completely by then. The rain stopped when I arrived at the bus. But while having “Wrap-up Party” it began to rain again. So we had to shorten the party time. We left the parking lot at 5:30 and arrived at Expo South Gate at 8:20 p.m.
It was my 51st hike for this year and my 251st attendance out of 333 AhToSan regular hikes.

登山月日:2011年9月17日(土) 曇り時々晴れ午後にわか雨。
登山地:智異山・細石(セソク세석)高原・燭臺峰(チョッテ峰촛대봉)
登山コース:コリム(거림)-セソク(세석)- 燭臺峰(촛대봉)-セソク(세석)-白武洞(백무동)-約14キロ、6.5時間。
同行者:アトサン会員33名(外国人は私だけ)
4時に起床して弁当などを準備。栗マッコリがなかったので缶ビールを2個凍らせて持参。午後の下山中にちょうどよく溶けて、皆と分け合って飲んだ。
予定コースにセソクーチョッテ峰往復があったが、実行したのはたぶん10人ほどで、会長や副会長などメインはチョッテ峰への往復を省略した。私も省略した。
写真も撮らずに先を急いだ流水たちは、この往復も含めて白武洞へずいぶん早く着いたようだ。
出発地点のコリムには10時少し前に到着したが、集合写真を撮る指示のタイミングが悪く、先頭集団が他の山岳会に混じって出発した後だった。
他の山岳会できたアジュンマが私に話しかけ、写真を1枚撮った。私も急いだが、先頭グループの速度にはついていけない。
会長・副会長らに追いつかれ、約50分ほど歩いた林の中でスズキタイム。今回はブドウもパングルトマトも1回で終わった。また、氷の 浮かんだマッコリをごちそうになったがいつもうまい。
さらに30分ほど進んだ橋のたもとで第2回目の休憩。ここでは初めて見るアジョシからハスオ(하수오)という植物の根っこをもらった。味もよく、強壮剤らしい。また、かたい桃も1個もらったがこちらも歯ごたえがあってうまかった。
12時20分ごろ、展望の良い岩場で昼食。いつものことだが、おかずを分け合って食べる昼食はうまい。
昼食後、約1時間ほどで細石高原へ到着した。ここは尾瀬のような水分の豊富な高原で、多くの花が咲いている。
よく目についたのはあざやかなブルーの竜胆とピンクのサンオイプル(산오이풀)[山キュウリ草?]このほか、日本ではみかけない白や黒のアザミが目についた。
細石待避所でしばらく休憩した後、白武洞へ向かって下山した。この下山路は露石地帯が長く続き、簡単ではない。かなり無理して下山を急いだが、そのため昼食後のアトサン会員の中ではトップで下山した。

渓谷は次第に水を集め、雪嶽山の渓谷のような風情がある。白武洞まであと3キロ地点からにわか雨が降りだし、バスの駐車場までにわか雨が続き、すっかり濡れてしまった。
バスに到着したのは5時近く。雨が止んだためそのまま駐車場でティップリ開始。しかし、5時半ごろからまた降りだし、追い立てられるようにティプリを終えた。
南門には8時20分ごろ到着。ワンルームには9時に戻った。
今年51回目の登山で、アトサンの定期登山の参加は251回目。
