Really enjoyed it, I'm hoping to be back up there next March sometime. Butuki - a very wise choice. I looked at the webcam on Monday and saw all that great weather, it must have been beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the photos. George - sure was, that's a busy mountain! Good call on Kashima-yari, I saw your shots on FB. Yea, winter gear at last~!!

We decided to chase the snow and headed towards Kashimayarigatake on Sun/Mon. It was nice to hear snow/ice underneath the boots and crampons, although I have to say it was pretty cold. At one point I checked my watch and it ranged from -6c to -10c in our tent at night. Time to break out the winter gear.. Well, looks like Tanigawa-dake/Tairappyo was certainly popular this weekend.

I was originally going to walk to Tairappyo, but had some things to do at home, left on Sunday, got there late due to a problem with my Suica card (did you know that you can't use it for the Shinkansen?!?!?!), and when I arrived found the conditions that you described Chris. AHHHH! No way I was going to camp in that with my tarp (though it's designed for it). So down the mountain I retreated to do go for a wonderful day hike to the top today. Great weather! TONS of people! As you know I was up on Tanigawadake today, too.

What route did you take up there? So much good stuff to do. George got me on to the Tairappyo route ... Lots of other stuff to do there and doable in a day trip from Tokyo too.

Nigel - good to hear from you! It must have been beautiful up there on Saturday (and today, as well, judging from the webcam). However the gods decreed that we had to do it on Sunday, CJW-style - horizontal sleet, a howling gale, sub-zero temperatures and 20m visibility... We'll have our revenge this winter though.

A very nice man to share a summit with. & you've convinced me; a kit post of some sort coming up this weekend! Butuki – I copied the footer code here: http://i-cjw.com/blog/Footer.txt if you need it.
