Hiker, rider, crack climber. Telecom R&D. 日本百名山55/100. 神奈川.
From a pizza box attached to a lift cable at Madarao. Snow was plentiful and wonderful all weekend.

It’s never too cold to climb.

Mount Ena last weekend makes it 55/100.

A family picture of sorts.

We always stay at the same lodge in Tazawako. Our hosts always ask us to call them mom and dad. Their Akita home cooking is second to none.

We love them so much.

First ever BC snowboarding outside of a guided course. The hooting and hollering is involuntary.

Earned some turns today. Beautiful day for it.

Just a little windy.

Another powder day. Zao was quite kind to us.

People for scale.

Golden hour today from atop Haneda. Truly the best time to take a shot.

Saw the snow and weather forecast for Hakuba on the 1st and jumped in the van. Very glad I did. A bluebird day to herald the New Year.

I’m not the only one with alternative plans for New Years. From a parking lot just outside Hakuba.

Tomorrow will be a very good start to the year.

Another day on the wall following my friends and making them look good while I try not to drop my camera.

Lugged a 70-200 f2.8 up the wall - totally worth it.

Just a little bit breezy.

Fate (5.12a). Not me on there, but someone far braver and stronger than me.

Happy place.

Work is finally done for the year, which means that I can finally escape Tokyo for a week.

Me: Hi I’d like to get my ribs xray’d to see if I fractured something since I’ve been in a bit of pain
Front desk: Unfortunately we’re full up on reservations, but we have a lot of openings tomorrow
Me: That will work, I wonder why tomorrow in particular

*remembers the date*

Oh. Maybe that’s why.

So cold and so much snow at Madarao that my side doors froze shut. Good stuff.
December 23, 2024 at 8:51 AM
Not a bad view to start a run. Solo today, +2 friends tomorrow.
December 21, 2024 at 8:11 AM
From the neighboring table just before 10am. You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning.
December 21, 2024 at 1:07 AM
Putting the van to good use.
December 21, 2024 at 12:57 AM
Not so golden hour.
December 18, 2024 at 1:13 PM
Golden hour.
