I love that mountain despite one very scary night nearby. I am in Tokyo tonight, having quit the trail (road) in Shikoku and would like to catch up, but I know it's very short notice. I was actually able to change my flight to tomorrow night so time is short and I mainly want to sleep. But I'll keep following your blog once I get back home. All the best!

I'm thinking of doing an article for 7:10 to Tokyo about what some people are doing with their time in Japan. I definitely want to feature your website. Hope you don't mind.

Sadly it looks like Professor Ono's book is out of print, but there's a couple of secondhand editions on Amazon, one of which may well wind up on my bookshelf shortly. Your admonition regarding Yari-zawa is timely - a skier died there a couple of weeks ago when he took a fall and slipped 200m down the slope. Your colleague was fortunate. Wes: Good luck on Goryu! You should have some nice snow up there. I'm not sure which way you are going but if you're cutting across from Karamatsu then it might be an idea to throw a couple of slings or some rope in your bag for the fixed chains on the ridge west of the hut. Look forward to reading the report. Captain: I’m not sure how I managed to miss that post of yours the first time around, but it’s one of the best pieces I’ve read in a while.

I guess I won't be staring at you from the top of Goryu, as I'm off to climb it tomorrow morning. I've got my gear prepared and my camp site eyed on the map. You're story has inspired me, so I let's hope the weather holds out. Congrats on a successful ascent (and descent).
