Returne home

I went back to my hometown the day before yesterday. As my daughter had to study, she and my wife didn't go there. My son and I went there.
As my mother died two years ago, my father stay there alone. When she had alive, she made us delicious food. So, I had a pleasure to go back to home.
In this summer, all we did with my father was going to eat broiled meat. There is no value to go there now. There is no value to lonely old guy. I'll be such a guy about 20 years later.

Korean climbers

I heard the news that the some Korean climbers were died in Middle Alps in the day when I was in North Alps. It was rainy and cold day. I felt cold and afraid to die at the day, too. Same whether must be attacked the Korean climbers.
I pray for the victims of distress. They and I are the same climber.

After hard climbing

I stayed in hotel in Toyama city after I returned from Murodou. We ate delicious foods and drink saki. We ate shrimp, squid and fishes in Toyama bay. Toyama bay is storehouse of many seafood.
It was deluxe night.

Bus center

At first, I planed to climb Mt. Tateyama which is there near Tsurugi. But, I gave up it. Because, I was tired and lost brave heart, and fuel cartridge was empty.
When I returned to Murodou bus station, many tourists in normal wear were there.
I ate hot Udon there. It was hot and tasty. I always feel restaurant food very tasty when I eat after long climbing.
By the way, I understood that staying in civilization is very cozy.

Return from Tsurugi alive

We reached to camp site at 3 PM. We returned from Tsurugi alive.
It was very cold. Inside of wear was wet by my sweat. So, I felt a chill. If I might miss judge, I must have a cold or die by hypothermia.
So, we stayed together in one tent in order to warm up and save fuel. Burning stove in tent was very dangerous. But, there was no other idea.
When I go out from tent after sunset, surface of snow goｒge was iced. So, the ambient temperature must be under 0℃ despite it was on end of july.
In the tent, we ate hot miso soup. It was very warm and tasty. It was warm heaven in the tent.
As a result, this experience was best memory in this climbing. I can't forget the taste of eggplant in miso soup.

Heavy weather

During we return from top to camp site, it changed to very bad weather.
It was thundered on the ridge line. So, we often hide beside big rocks.
Hard rain make river on mountain road. So, I often slipped on the road. I was wet inside rain wear.
Amazingly, hailstone dropped on my head despite it was the end of July.
If we missed judgement, we might die in the mountain like Korean climbers in Mid Alps.
There is no picture about this, because I had no allowance.
It was the hardest climbing in my life.

Kani-no-yokobai

"Kani-no-yokobai" means that crab walk sideways. It's famous for the danger like "Kani-no-tatebai". When I turn at the corner, I feared, because I couldn't see the point which I would step.
Many climbers stand in line before there. I had heard that some climbers couldn't go there and made long line.
