1304 ASCEND

M. Z. Augustyniak

In the US Military parlance it was referred as Hill 1304. September 1951 the First Battalion of the 23rd Infantry Regiment was ordered to take it. In other words, the ascend was up the Mount Daeamsan (대암산; 大岩山) - 1,304 metres (4,280 ft) high. It was at night, during a torrential monsoon rain, in total darkness. The sense of direction was easy however, just go against the gravity. On a very steep slope with ground turned into mud which facilitated sliding back one foot after making two upwards. The twigs, grasped for purchase, were coming out with roots. Some help was from sturdier growths and trees if groping hands found them. That was while burdened with the combat infantryman’s gear and a pain in the left leg from the recent wound. Now the tourists do it in less then an hour, but it took us from the onset of darkness to the budding down. The climb was all to surprise the enemy. However, the enemy was smarter then we were and were not surprised. Just did not bother to be there. On the flat top of it I saw a curious phenomenon. The water there on the top surface was always going up, and always filing the foxholes, even in sunny rainless days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.224.4.49 (talk) 16:08, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
