Climb on hard slope

Road from lodge to Mt. Johnen was very hard slope. We could see the lodge's roof under our foots.
A guy who wear yellow jacket was my son. He always walk in front of me. During he changed his wear, I passed him and walked in front of him.

Start to walk before sunrise

We woke up at 2:00AM. We ate breakfast and packed tent etc. to backpack and started to climb at 4:00AM. Later, eastern sky changed the color from blue to orange. It was the most my favorite time for climbing. The colors changed every moment.

First stay in zelt

Staying in zelt all night was my first experience. I afraid rains and hard winds until I reached to the campsite.
I trained it many times in mountains near my home for the night.
As a result, I stayed there comfortable and could sleep well until my son call me in the morning.

Beautiful sunset before typhoon

We could see beautiful sunset in front of our tents. It must be one of best sunset in my life.
We thought we would stand on the top of the sharp summit in the day after tomorrow. But, the typhoon was neared to Japan on Pacific ocean. We knew it by news on TV in the lodge.

Pasta

First dinner was penne (a kind of pasta) with meet sauce, miso soup and carry etc. It was dry food. But, every foods in the mountain was delicious.
I brought dust which include foods. The hard smell of meat sauce afflict me every night in the tent.

Mt. Jonen beside the camp site

I could see Johonen's north side from our camp site.
Until I went there, I had no image of the mountain's style. But, I thought that Mt. Johnen-dake was very beautiful mountain. Ant, it was very big mountain. It stood there front side of blue sky.

Udon in the lodge

In this climbing, I decided to eat foods in lodge sometimes for my son. I wanted to show my son many things such as lodge's foods, camping foods and behavioral diets etc. Because, every thing in deep mountains must be first experience for him.
Off course,  the Udon in lodge Johonen was very delicious.
