金剛山で初めての登山 - 奈良/大阪｜Mt. Kongō Hiking Nara Osaka, Japan

大学の友人4人が久々に集まって、大阪・千早赤坂にある金剛山に初めての山登りをしてきました。

初めての山登りで、何を準備すれば良いか、わからずでしたが、トレランを少しやったこともあったので、少しずつ準備していた、トレラン用のシューズやリュック・給水アイテムなど、とりあえずカバンに詰め込んで。

みんな何度も山登りをいていることもあって、普通に道ではない道があるような、ないような道をひょうひょうと登っていく姿に終始驚きました。

トレランはランニングできる道を進むのが基本ですが、「これ、どこに足をかけるんだろうか？」という道を友人が、山登りを楽しめるように、道を選んでくれたみたいです(笑)

川に沿って歩くこともあって、耳も涼しく、気持ちよく、太陽を避けながら進めるので、とても清々しかったです。

登山が初めてなので、山頂で食べるカップラーメンもビールも、コーヒーも全てが初体験でした！

「これが噂の山頂で食べるラーメンか！」と納得したような、していないような気持ちでしたが、何よりも大学の友人と久々に時間を過ごしたことが一番の贅沢な気がします。

そんな心地良い山の音と一緒に動画を少しだけ記録しました。

また近々山登りにチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

Four college friends got together for the first time in a while and went hiking for the first time on Mt. Kongō in Chihayaakasaka, Osaka.

Since it was my very first mountain hike, I had no idea what to prepare. Luckily, I’d done a bit of trail running before, so I just packed whatever I had—trail running shoes, a small backpack, a water bottle, and other bits of gear—into my bag.

My friends, on the other hand, have climbed mountains many times. I was constantly amazed as they effortlessly walked up paths that seemed… well, not really like paths at all.

In trail running, you usually stick to runnable paths, but my friends seemed to intentionally choose routes where I’d be asking myself, “Wait, where am I even supposed to put my foot?”—all to make sure I’d enjoy the challenge of real hiking (haha).

Part of the route followed a stream, so the sound of running water made the air feel cooler and fresher. It was so refreshing to walk in the shade, away from the summer sun.

Since it was my first hike, everything at the summit was a brand-new experience—instant noodles, beer, coffee… all tasted completely different up there. I’m still not sure if I fully understand the hype about “ramen at the summit,” but I can say that spending quality time with my old college friends felt like the real luxury.

I captured a bit of video along the way, accompanied by the peaceful sounds of the mountain.
I think I’ll be challenging myself with another hike again sometime soon.
