I've always been a massive fan but this is just ridiculous:

Anyone who's been there in summer knows that to access this in full winter with eevrything shut down is a pretty serious affair.

yep... that guy's blog is pretty nice. nice photos. write-ups are a bit out there sometimes but i guess some of the writeups i read here are really fukked up. Do you know his name? wonder which HF he works for.
That climb seems like a mission for sure. I don't think the Hyaku-meizan is something i'd like to do even if i had the time. I google image'd, Mt A, Mt B, Mt C, Mt D yesterday when i was bored. Mt Ararat, Mt Baker, Mt Cook, Mountain Dew (Waaaay Easier than Denali but then McKinley takes the "M" so you can't get out of it, but at least you can do the Dew before everest), Mt Everest, Mt Fuji, and so on. That would be fun. The 8000's, The Seven Summits, Colorado's 14'ers, and now Pinky's Google 26.

The 26s... well I think I have one done.
His writeups are probably my favourite TRs from Japan and I'm not even a climber. Sometimes they can be a bit inward-looking, but the fact that his pictures are blocked at work and I can still easily make it to the end of every one must be some kind of testament to his writing.

Meh, I think Muikibochi's trs are better...

Oh I think he might be called Chris. Happy to have him as an internet legend for now.
Muika takes pictures of the gnar, CJW stands on top of it.

Is your sarcasm meter broken? I am not sure Muika even takes pics of gnar, just scenics of groomers.

To be fair to the man, he had some pretty decent shots of the area around Tanigawadake in his Tenjin TR.

True. It was a little late for that about a year ago...
