I love the view from Happo-one and Toomi-one in winter when the steep cliffs sport snow flutings and look positively Himalayan until you see the dakekanba trees clinging to the slopes and with the sense of scale they provide the Himalayan image is destroyed.<br /><br />I watched climbers coming up the east face of Shiroumadake this May. It looks similar. There were a lot of parties going up Shirouma too.Peter Skovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987393310930370690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-7921332906052981362009-08-21T14:09:02.664+02:002009-08-21T14:09:02.664+02:00Beautiful photos as usual.

All perfectly captured and conveyed. It brought back some happy memories, and with the distinctly autumnal smell in the air this morning, served as a reminder that winter is once again just around the corner..<br /><br />And, if I may say so, a long overdue photo of the infamous Subaru!Chris (i-cjw.com)http://i-cjw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-62714735943170604502009-08-10T17:43:03.390+02:002009-08-10T17:43:03.390+02:00Damian: what an honour to receive a visit from the...Damian: what an honour to receive a visit from the Steep and Deep-meisters. Yes, that north face is splendid. Quite the equal of some South American or Alpine mountains, especially the flutings ....<br /><br />Julian: the accident was on Fuji, not on Kashimayari. Icy conditions were to blame, as so often on Fuji. And, freakishly, three different parties (but on the same side of Fuji) each lost one member to a fall. On a happier note, I have traversed Kashima (I think) twice in summer - once at least. But, by the time you get there, the cloud tends to have boiled up. So the view is often hidden. I guess the solution is to make great art from photography of clouds, like CJW!Project Hyakumeizanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260637418886330553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-50038044607706373962009-08-10T13:44:47.839+02:002009-08-10T13:44:47.839+02:00I had not realised you did so much risky winter cl...I had not realised you did so much risky winter climbing until I started reading these hairy trip reports. You didn't see the 3 who would later fall?<br /><br />Like Damian, I like this peak very much indeed. Did you ever climb Kashimayari in good weather? The views of Tsurugi/Tateyama are splendid.hanameizanhttp://www.hanameizan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618037172759094056.post-55619166975488638072009-08-09T12:30:33.762+02:002009-08-09T12:30:33.762+02:00I enjoyed your story and also find Kashimarayi the...I enjoyed your story and also find Kashimarayi the most visually pleasing peak in the local range - particularly the steep fluted NE face.Damianhttp://www.steepdeepjapan.comnoreply@blogger.com
