Out with the crew from Rappies again, a fun day of touring. We started out with the plan of riding the north side of Norikura Dake and linking it via he eastern face off Tengubara, a descent of north side Hiyodori and the finishing with Wakaguri north side. It is a classic multi leg tour through Otari. The wind was so intense at altitude that we decided to skip the Norikura Dake line.
We started with this.
Then skinned up and rode this.
We then skinned over to Wakaguri and rode out what remains of the north side snow there. I don't have a photo of that area.
