Quasi-mountaineer's Game of the Death(死亡遊戱)
On every weekend, many mountains in the suburbs of Seoul have had lots of mountaineers without any belay equipment on their rocky ridges.
According to Mountain rescue team, the annual death toll is more than 10, being founded several hundred people wounded.
'The death from a fall used to be happen at anywhere of rocky ridge or peak because those did not have any climbing equipment' said Mountain rescue team.
'So a man should remember that danger always comes when he's on the mountain, whether or not it's high. But more important is that everybody should know about what the climbing is, recognizing the essential necessity of belay to protect from dangerous situation' they added.
안전장비 없이 무분별한 릿지산행으로 년간 수백명이 다치고 10여명 이상씩 목숨을 잃는다.
서울 근교의 왠만한 암봉과 암릉에서는 이른바 ‘막가파’식 릿지등산객을 흔히 볼수 있다.
산악구조대 관계자에 따르면, 산이 높건 낮건 항상 클라이밍을 할때는 안전장비를 갖춰야하고, 진정한 클라이밍 행위가 무엇인지를 분명히 알아야 할것 이라고 덧붙였다.
