もう今年最後かも？の北アルプス。
紅葉期待に出向いていったんですが・・・うーん、イマイチ？(^^;
ちょっと遅すぎた感があり残念でしたが、代わりに予定変更！で
百名山の１つ、笠ヶ岳（2,897.5m）を登頂してきました～♪
初日は新穂高温泉から、紅葉の名所の小池新道を鏡平へ。
紅葉前線が下り切っていないのか、なんだかイマイチ。
鏡平も美しかったけど、紅葉という感じでも無し。
ま、代わりに槍ヶ岳に向かって乾杯！^^
双六小屋に泊まってから、次の日は稜線沿いに笠ヶ岳へ。
道中、コーヒーで一服と洒落込み、山頂ではどん兵衛食べました（笑）。
この笠ヶ岳、アプローチが大変で、下りだけでも５時間半かかりました・・・
午後1時ごろの笠ヶ岳山荘出発だったので、麓では真っ暗～。( ~o~)
最後はヘッドランプ頼りに新穂高温泉までたどり着きました。。。
これもいい経験？かも。次からは安全な計画を。
Sugorokugoya and Kasagadake Trekking on Oct.8-9th, 2011
-----
It was both wonderful and fearful experience, this weekend's trekking in northern Alps in Japan.
Visited Sugoroku-goya (hostel on mountain) and Mt. Kasagadake (2,897.5m);
this was really tough trekking taking 7 hours to Sugoroku-goya and 12 hours back to Shinhodaka-onsen (entrance) via Mt. Kasagadake, making me exhausted at last...
One of the purposes was "to watch great Autumn leaves" around Mt. Sugorokudake,
but maybe it was too late for us to do so; it seemed red and yellow but not great...
But the weather was great, so enjoyed beautiful trekking along the top of the mountains!
On the way, I tried for the first time to make hot water and enjoy a cup of coffee!
Also, I could eat instant noodle on the top of Mt. Kasagatake!
It was a really nice experience and great moment for me...
What I have to think seriously was I had to use headlamp to go back to the entrance
because it was too late to return to the Shinhodaka town...
Maybe this was good experience for me, and will be more careful next time!
