2023 Summer 失敗小記
最後行程如下：
第一天：中房溫泉 〉燕山莊
第二天：燕山莊 〉燕岳 〉大天莊
第三天：大天莊 〉橫尾山莊
第四天：橫尾山莊〉明神館
第五天：明神館 〉上高地〉回市區
想比較原定行程按這。
兩大原因引致失敗，第一：低估險峻的山勢。我們在香港已完成西九牙，但對於第二天差不多整條路線也需要攀爬，而且一邊是懸崖，也頗為吃力和令人緊張。
第二：行裝過多。海拔3000米以上的高山一般相對寒冷，但事實一般3點已到山屋，而且寒冷的晚上也在溫暖的小木屋內，伙食也非常豐富，幸福感滿滿的。我們作為第一次到日本行高海拔山，怕不夠預寒衣物和行動糧，結果大部分也沒有用到。過重的行李令我們過份負重，令我們在危險的稜線攀爬太久，體力消耗很多，心理負擔也很重。
第二晚的落山討論相當沉重，要承認自身不足需要勇氣，當然最後也感謝伴侶在整個旅途上的包容，情緒滿溢的晚上為這個行山旅行畫上濃厚的色彩，期待下次準備充足下再拜訪日本山脈。

There are two reasons that lead to our failure. The first one is the challenging ridge. Although we already strained Kau Nga Ling (West Ridge) in Hong Kong, the route on the second day is of the same level of difficulty, plus one side of the route is a cliff that made us very nervous for a long period of time.
The second one is overpack. Mountains that are over 3000m are usually relatively cold. However, we usually arrived at the cottages before 3pm and we were already in the warm cottage. Moreover, the food there was fabulous that we definitely did not imagine to be treated so nicely. Therefore, it turned out most of the winter jackets and energy bars were not used and they were overloading ourselves. With such a heavy backpack, we ended up hiking slowly on the ridge for an excessively long time. We used up a lot of energy and we put a great burden on ourselves mentally.
The second night to discuss our final decision was heavy and it took courage to admit that we were incapable. Of course, I had to give credit to my partner for the tolerance. The night with overflowing emotions definitely made the hiking trip remarkable. We look forward to revisiting the mountains in Japan next time.
