Bar

After I left from climbing gear shop, I went to drink with my friend to Yokogawa.
At first, we ate Horumon which was a grilled organs. And we drank Scotch whisky in the bar in Yokogawa.
The bar in Yokogawa was my favorite bar. I can talk with my friend slowly and kindly there. Someday, I'll bring my wife there.

PETZL's ACTICK CORE

The max light power is 350 lumen. It was very powerful. My bicycle's light which I think to enough brightness is 200 lumen. So, it must be very very bright.
The tough with my head was very nice when I compare with my old one. It will not to be off.
But, there was no packing between the case and cover. It said that the class of resist water was IP4. It means that a water in daily life be covered. But, it must be damaged in hard rain. So, I have to use it carefully in the rain. It is a big loose point.
I'll use it for commute for a while. And I'll judge it can be used for climbing.

New gears

After I finished my job at the noon, I went to climbing gear shop in order to buy some gears.
They are head lamp, wallet, backpack cover and rubber of stock.
I bought head lamp because the old one which I had used 9 years was broken.
I bought rain cover for 30 litter backpack which be used for commute.
I bought rubber of stock because I loose it in North Alps in last summer.
I bought the wallet because it looked very cool for me in the shop.
Buying climbing gear is very interesting.

Morgenrot

Morgenrot is a word of German which means red color of sunrise. It was a word for climbing.
By the way, I watched a beautiful Morgenrot at the another side of the river when I was commuting. As I would have a drink in the evening, I walked for commute.

Bicycle in the snow

When I commute by bicycle, it was snow. As the ambient temperature was -3 ℃, the snow was freeze on the surface of the road.
So, I controlled bicycle carefully. But, the commuting was very interesting.

-3℃

It is very cold in this week. It often be snow.
The ambient temperature was - 3 ℃ today. It was most cold in this 2 years. The most in last winter was -1 ℃.
But, the time of sunrise have been first. It make me comfortable.

Lunch in mountain

We ate instant noodle and rice ball near the top of Mt. Ege. Food in mountain always be delicious. Hot noodle in winter was especially.

Good record

I reached to the top in 43 minutes and 52 seconds. It was my second record. My best was 43 minutes and 35 seconds in summer. I regret that I should run more fast.
My son's record was about 42 minutes. As he had't eaten breakfast, he had tired at near the top. He had lack of energy. It must be good study for him. He must be recognized the importance of breakfast.
But, I couldn't win him under such a situation. I have to train more.

First climbing was with my son

New year climbing was with my son. It was first climbing in this year.
It's most happy for father that the son have same interest. He don't talk well in home. But, he talk well in mountain.

Ruins of port

In front of the traditional house, there was a board which was written " Imabou port". It was an old port in more than 100 years ago.
People in the old house my be used the port and got money in those days.
When I was a junior school student, I went there with teacher and classmates.

Old building in Okayama

I walked to my mother's tomb with my father in new year day. There were beautiful Japanese traditional old house between the tomb and father's home.
The house had been rich man's. Who had a very wide ground around there.
But, nobody stay there now. And the house has been broken day by day. I thought we should keep it as a important ruins. But, there was no money to keep it. In these days, it is difficult for Japan or Okayama prefecture.
