Mt IWAKI of
the wind and rain.(Half day)
In July,
(rain).
I leave the house
of AKITA at 5:50. I go together today with MITCHY,
too. Though in fact I intended to climb Mt
AKITAKOMAGATAKE, I changed it to Mt IWAKI climbing
the mountain for the weather forecast of the
thunderstorm. The inside of the rain goes to
MORIOKA in Route 46, and go into the descent of
Tohoku way. The rain which is sometimes strong
blows on the expressway as well. It runs about
140km, and gets off at the OHWANIECHIZEN
interchange, and passes the road for agriculture of
"APPLE ROAD" from there, and passes through the
front of Mt IWAKI shrine. The circumference from
those days is wrapped in the mist, and a little the
points are the conditions which can be hard to see,
too. After that, I write "The lift is suspension of
the service because of the bad weather." in the
gate of Mt IWAKI expressway. It is the 8/10 point
when I pay 1750 yen and 68 turn at the hairpin
curve. There is hardly a car though I arrived at
the parking lot of the 8/10 point at 8:55. One
mountaineer puts on the rainwear, and shoulder the
big pack.
As for itself, only
the jacket of GORE put on the pink rainwear of
KUROBE-DAM with MITCHY. As for going into the
mountain trail, 9:17. It is the mountain trail
which I walk in easily though it is narrow. Though
MITCHY went freely first, my sweat blew and came
out. Because the "sweat waterfall sickness" is
improper when I get sick, I open the front of the
jacket greatly, and climb it slowly. I can
sometimes look over the bottom more though it
doesn't seem to be far because the mist appears. It
is good that it isn't hot, either, because it is
good that there is no insect and the sunlight
doesn't hit it though it is rainy. It becomes windy
when I pass around the lift at 9:43. The rain mixes
very much, too. It became intense here because the
obstacle was used up though I was anxious about
neither the wind nor the rain because I was in the
wood. The way becomes a rocky place, too, and we
seem to be blown off in the ridge. Though it is not
a word, MITCHY does its best, and climbs it. Though
I pass 10 pilgrimages in the middle of the rocky
place, it falls under the condition that the whole
body is wet without both rainwear and the
mountain-climbing boots. I go ahead of two
mountaineers halfway. Though the left hand doesn't
seem to move one person, he does his best, and he
is climbing it.
We arrive at the
summit of a mountain at 10:15. The person was
sitting in the glass window of the building of the
stone construction, and I was surprised. It is
uncanny though I sell something in the shrine. It
seems to be because the pilgrimage climbs it. The
neighborhood of the summit of a mountain is
dripping wet without the rainwear having been any
longer under the heavy rain condition. The shrine
is on the north side at the top, and MITCHY says
that I will visit. Though I severed it 'It is
unpleasant.', she said 'Let's visit for MARKUN.',
and I understood it. I threw five yen coin in the
offertory box, and put it. Two people of a short
time have taken a rest since we go into the refuge
hut after we sometimes take the climbing to the
summit souvenir picture. We sat on the chair, and
took out the stove, and boiled the hot water. It
may be handy though the cup Chinese noodles are
insipid. I eat soon, and the taste is stable, too,
and the pot becomes dirty less much than what in
it. MITCHY seems to be glad that she could climb
it, and she is a smile. But, we can't もし so
freely because I deposit MARKUN in the parents'
house.
We leave the refuge
hut at 11:05, and hang on the descent. MITCHY goes
down cheerfully and freely rather than I thought of
it. I call it to be careful of the foot from behind
because it is too fast. Her pace went down to her
when we went from around the lift station into the
wood though it seemed to be promising because the
pace was early as much as to go ahead of the couple
of the point in the middle of the rocky place. She
is the condition that it is exhausted. Her knee is
shaking. I walked with saying "Be careful of the
foot over and again, and get off slowly." to her
and waiting for that her coming down. I arrive at
the car of me in the parking lot of the 8/10 point
at 11:55.
Because it was
worried about the thing of MARKUN which I deposited
in the parents' house, we hurried, and did the
preparation, and left behind the parking lot at
12:10. I drove fast, and came home in the house of
AKITA at 15:10 as much as to renew the worst fuel
consumption rate. MARKUN slept quietly without
knowing our anxiety. It is disappointing that it
was rainy because it is said that I could hope for
the excellent view if it was fine. I thought that we were allowed to be able to climb it this time
because it was on the book which I read after
returning home "Mt IWAKI is the famous mountain of
Japanese 100.".
(Mt IWAKI
=1624.7m).
