Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I agree , Byron...I highly underestimated the effects of altitude . As a result, I felt it prudent to have enough sake and sojou the night before to float a small armada . I regretted that every step of the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 If you guys do ever get to Japan do what we did and do a night climb...that pic of me getting ready to get started was taken about 6:30 PM... we climbed more or less straight thru until dawn at which point we were just below the peak. We stayed where we were to watch the sun come up and then continued on to the cloud shrouded peak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Used to do it alot where I grew up in the Ozark Mountains; lots of geological thinks like that . Giant sinkholes , cracks in rock that opened into caverns, undrground rivers and springs that could be accessed from the surface .... it was fun when I was in my teens. Now that I have a family and pay my own insurance premiums, things don't seem as fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
