What a beautiful ridge line that is !!!

I often watched very beautiful ridge line between Mt. Yari-gadake and Mt. Hodaka-dake. It must be one of most beautiful, famous and popular ridge line in Japan. North Alps was great !

Mt. Johnen was big

When I turned back, I could see big Mt. Johnen-dake. It was very beautiful when I watched it from this side.
White road was clear on the ridge line. It was hard down slope. As my son don't good at walking on down slope, very long time was wasted. But, it was interesting walking because of beautiful landscape around us.

Walk in great landscape

My son walked on rock road with big backpack. When I see him at such situation, I think he have grown up.
Large mountains in front of him was Mt. Hodaka-dake. It is one of the most famous mountain for Japanese climbers. It was beautiful and looked harsh. I'd climbed it about 6 years ago. It was most difficult and hard climbing for my life.

South Alps and Mt. Fuji

We had to walk the long ridge line in the day. But, the beautiful landscape made us comfortable.
We could see South Alps and Mt. Fuji. I could see Mt. Fuji from in the mountain in three continuous years.
Mt. Fuji is our Japanese symbol. It have some power to make us comfortable.

Top of Mt. Johnen

When we reached top of Mt. Johonen-dake, only one climber was there. He photoed us and talked with me for a while.
At the top, simple board which be written the name of mountain. And a small shrine was there. The combination was like Mt. Yari-gatake.
Later, noisy old guys reached there. So, we left there and walked in order to reach Mt. Cho-gatake.

Near the summit of Mt. Johnen

Summit was near us. We could see some other climbers were staying. I like the time when I was near the summit.
My son's green backpack was in front of me. We could't reached there before sunrise.

Morgenrot

We could see beautiful morgenrot. Morgenrot is a German which means that colored mountain by sunrise.
I often stop my legs and watched it for a while. But, my son waited such me. He like to walk fast at rising slope. Did he feel nothing in front of such landscape ?
