陣馬山〜高尾山 / Mt. Jinba to Mt. Takao

今日は本気で登山したい気分だったので、高尾駅からバスで陣馬山登山口へ行き、10:00に登山開始。平日なので人影もまばらで良いスタートを切ったものの、山頂付近には予想外の雪!というか、もうほぼ雪山です。
私は普通の運動靴だったので、凍結したり、泥で沼地みたいになった山道ですべるすべる!本気で身の危険を感じた場所もあり、反省しました。高尾山へ着いたときにはヘトヘトで、16:30に下山ー。ふもとで食べたとろろそばが美味しかったです。

I was up for serious mountain climbing today. I took a bus from Takao Station to Mt. Jinba and started at 10:00am. There weren't many people and I had a very good start, but near the top of the mountain everything was covered by snow and ice.
I was wearing a normal pair of running trainers and it was so slippery that I seriously feared for my life. I managed to get to Mt. Takao and got down at 16:30pm. It was a very tiring but satisfying journey.
