Excellent read, gorgeous photos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Thanks Shug-san, legs are still sore but am now able to climb up stairs without the need to crawl, so at least I have that going for me.

Cheers. It was, especially the camp, but my legs still disagree.
Same here, but constantly tinkering. I ended up sticking with my BB during shoulder season and now have extended it to the winter seasons thanks to my Wookie (DH Sparrow is pretty much retired). Now...
Thanks Phantom Grappler. Seeing reports of the Uwharrie lead me to suspect you have special thing over there as well. Glad I can show something a little different.

That fabric and the landscape… *chef’s kiss *
Thanks! Unfortunately I donated my Stingerz and lines to him when I left them there. Hope he makes good use of it.
Thanks Charlotte, that bridge swayed more than i thought it would. Had...
Day 5: Leaving on a good note
Slept really well and refreshed. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230827/a5bac7588146ff2c14e27a96a351b6ce.jpg
Started little later than usual and started...
Day 4: type 2 fun at its best
Woke up to morning mist which opened to a sun rise whilst climbing up from the hut.

Day 3: Weather quickly turns
Morning started well but turned on me after first ascent from the campsite.
Got colder...
Day 2
I did not sleep great and later realized that my “normal” sleep schedule aggravated this. I am a late sleeper often going to bed after midnight so there was no way I was going to sleep...

Long story short: Planned for 6 days and summit Japan’s second highest peak (3192m) but spent two straight days in...
Gorgeous location. Thanks for sharing
I’m always paranoid about water after running out and making a very miserable and cramp filled retreat. I have taken many precautions since then.
Was the plan to dry camp with 1l of water?

Thanks Charlotte, I did not catch the bug and daughter is fully recovered. But I now have to worry about a typhoon in the area. Might have to delay a couple of days and let it pass and hope the...
Good news: I scheduled my trip in two weeks
Bad news: Daughter got Covid but she got it five days ago in Canada and is back home.
Here’s hoping she’s less contagious…
LoL: the kid’s yawp after “No taxation without representation”
Can always try both! Give me a holler for any advice

Congratulations to you and your dad. Excellent lessons learned we could all use.
Thanks! Uggh another week. I guess I should be thankful it bit where I’m covered.
The trail was well marked and I only made one wrong turn (totally my fault). The only exception being the...

Thanks! I purposely went north to south to make sure I’d get ample opportunities to see it.
Thanks!!! Relieved to know the name of the bug, bu-yu, and similar to the black fly.

Thank you. I think I just needed patience I did not have to that day. Need to practice some more but I am now realizing I’ll have to get used to sleeping on the ground if it comes to that.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent editing and pace. I might have missed it but how long did you leave your stuff alone whilst trail running?
You have won the best introduction I’ve ever read. Welcome.

I know to completely avoid that area for camping. I’ll be too scared to share a site with a creature that has opposable thumbs with intelligence and demeanor of a small child
Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing your neck of the woods.
Let me know if you have any questions about the local trails around Tokyo [emoji106]
A bunch of cars split that monkey off with its troop (just learned that now) and I forced it further down the road.

LowTech, what’s the difference between you using a line to attach two anchoring lines vs. attaching those lines directly to the pole?
Also curious if anyone can recommend using a thick branch...
Hoping that if I write it and share this, I will actually get it done this year.
Goal is to climb three of the 100 great mountains of Japan in the Southern Alps: Kitadake, Ainodake, and...
lol, I figure if you are at higher elevation where it’s cooler, you’ll probably bring an UQ
Going up higher elevation sorts this dilemma for me. Else, I’ll use a UQP and battery fan inside to keep cool.

Great photos of what feels like serenity
I just saw that. I do hope they will eventually have it in camo or white.

Thanks for sharing the great read. Jealous/Not jealous about pulling extra stuff with a pulk and you have a fine pulk, indeed.
Nice juxtapositions of the blue and orange flames. I’m just waiting for the snow to fall here to get out at least one night! Thanks for sharing.
