Mt. Ege

I climbed Mt. Ege in the evening. The climbing was check of performance of foot sole. The result was very nice. I could walk up slope without ache of heel. It was a problem of new boots.
In cold and silent mountain, I could enjoyed climbing.
By the way, I listened the good result of my son's examination for junior high school by telephone. So, I could enjoyed climbing better.

Heavy snow

It was very snowy day today. As my son have a examination for junior high school, I brought him and my wife to the school.
The surface of the road had covered by ice and snow. I saw some cars stopped on the road because they drove by using normal tire. I think they are fool who have no knowledge and co common sense.
When I moved from the school to my office, I could see the
beautiful white castle.

Nearest ridge line

I climbed Mt. Tyausu through the ridge line from railroad. As it was most cold day in the winter, I felt my hand very cold at first. But, I felt hot after I walked for a while. My boots condition was very good because of new foot sole.

Check the sole

I checked a performance of new boots sole by climbing Mt. Tyausu. The result was very very good. The shoe and my feet were like a piece by the sole.
I noticed that my weight was supported by all surface of my foot by using new sole. When I used normal sole, my weight was supported by heel and fingers.
In the text of the sole, it was written that I had to use only about one hour until I would be used to it. So, I went to nearest mountain from my house.

Insole

I bought a insole today. The reason why I bought it was that I had a ache at back of heel in new climbing boots. I hoped to reduce the ache by support of insole.
I brought the boots to the shop. And the clerk proffesional helped me to select the best size of it and cut the edge in order to fit to my boots and my feet. The sole fit to my feet especially at my arch of feet.
And I had a trouble at my knee when I walk for a long distance. But I heard that the sole would help me at the problem.
I will check the talent of the sole in mountain.

Mt. Kamakura-yama and Yariga-mine

When I returned to home, I could see both mountain at the road. Sharp peak in right side of the photo was Mt. yariga-mine. Gentle peak in left side of the photo was Mt. Kamakura-yama. And I could see nice ridge line between them.
It was a nice climbing.

Peak of Mt. Yariga-mine

After I walked great ridge line, I reached the top of Mt. Yariga-mine. As there were no signal board, I couldn't certain it was the top. But, there was a highest peak and there had an atmosphere like a peak.
Rocky ridge line continued over the peak, and it continued to the ground. I wanted to continue to walk on the ridge line. But I returned to same road, because I had to returned to my bike.
Someday, I'll walk all over the ridge line.

Rock ridge line

Ridge line between Mt. Kamakura-yama and Mt. Yariga-mine was very sharp and dangerous. At some place, width of road was less than 50 cm. Both right and left side was sharp cliff. If I drop down there, I must be die.　And there were many chains and ropes on the rocks.
But, it was very interesting climbing road. It may be best climbing road in Hiroshima pref. for me.

Top of Mt. Kamakura-yama

I didn't meet other climber despite it was famous mountain in Hiroshima. So, I could enjoyed loneliness there.
After I had a rest for a while, I started to walk in order to go to Mt. Yariga-mine.

Lack of train

「3合目」 means that the point was 30% of all distance to the top. When I watched it, I felt it maybe impossible to arrive to the top. As I'm busy for business, I can't train enough.
I continued to climb with hard breath.

Road like a river

The road to the top was a small stream. And the slope was very sharp. So, it was difficult to climb.

Mt. Kamakura-yama

Ｉ climbed Mt. Kamakura-yama today. The mountains was one of famous mountain in Hiroshima which be written on my book.
It was there between Mukoubara and Shiwa town. The entrance of climbing road was far from my home. So, the climbing and touring by bike were the today's event. The road in Shiwa was very nice because it was in rice paddy and mountains. There were many nature around there.
At the entrance of mountain road, wide park was there. I would come here again with my son someday.

Mt. Takajyo

Mt. Takajyo is a mountain which I can see from my home. I often thought that I want to climb it in my room.
It was easy mountain to climb. I met a climber at the top. He started to eat lunch box in front of me. So, I felt hunger and I decided to down the mountain and go home and eat lunch. I stayed the top for a short time.

Mt. Fujigamaru

Mt. Fujigamaru was hard mountain more than I imagined. The slope was sharp and long. And, it was very hot today despite it was in January. From the top, there were no landscape because there was surrounded by trees.
After I returned home, I would know the mountain could not be watched from my house, because there was Mt. Hinoura in front of the mountain. but, I was satisfied because I could climb mountain which I'd never climbed.
I met a old climber there and I could talk for a while. He was a member of climbing party which I'd knew the name. They often maintain mountain road and construct the signs on the mountain road.

Mountains in my window

I have a little dream which I'll climb all mountains which I can see from my house. Today, I climbed two mountains which there in Seno.
The photo is Mt. Fujigamaru. I photoed it from Mizukosi pass. I parked my bike at the square at the Mizukosi pass and I'd climbed..
