I'm yearning for another early winter climb up there when the crowds have gone home, probably late November/early December - maybe via the Hayatsuki ridge and over the top and on to Bessan and Murodo. Happy to have some company if you fancy it - drop me a email on cjw at i-cjw.com if you wish. Cheers, Chris Phil – I imagine Tsurugi has been quite crowded this year, what with the film out and all?

I was going over the back to Bessan, a lovely walk on a nice winters day. I guess it must have been you.., I did need the crampons after all. Just climbed Tsurugi from Bambajima for the first time this past weekend. Great day, though a bad case of 'laughing knees' on the way down! Drop me a line if you're ever in this neck of the woods again. Cheers, Phil. Hi,

Certainly your description of me sounds correct (although you were nice enough to omit "sunburnt & knackered looking" - which I surely was)...

It's a bit of a long shot, but I think I may have passed you on your way down Mt. Tateyama. I was heading up and noticed a tall foreign guy with a lot of kit coming towards me. I think we smiled and said 'hi'. What I do remember thinking is; 'that guy has the same crampons as me.' It was Nov. 07, though I can't remember the exact day. Anyway, keep up the good work. Phil.

I just discovered your site through Kevin from Bastish.net. I loved following your story of your winter walk. And your photography is wonderful, too. I also love climbing the mountains in Japan, but unfortunately don't have a lot of winter technical skills to be able to climb Tsurugi in winter. I love photography, too, so you, Kevin, and I have something to share on that chord. I don't find a lot of blogs that I want to keep up with any more, but yours is definitely one of them! Hi CJW.
