HAKUBA,

Sunny and really windy

summit of karamatsu, falling in crampons on sketchy down climb ice wall. looking down the line.

Karamatsu is a summit in Hakuba, around 2800 meters. The night before we found a manga (japanese comic magazine) with comic about climbing mountains in Hakuba, this particlur issue featured the same route we were looking to hit this day. Pretty sweet. Some how there is a naked girl bent over in the middle of the climb. That is Japan.

There where no naked girls on our climb. (!__!)
