Dry tooling session held in the past

Ice climbing Step UP training session by Kentaro Hirokawa was held at Yatsugatake 2024/3/16-17

2024年03月22日

2024/3/16-17 Ice climbing Step UP course was held at Yatsugatake/Kawara Oku/Soy Sauce Barrel.
We welcomed Mr. Kentaro Hirokawa, who knows everything about ice climbing, as our instructor. He is commonly known as Hiroken. He is currently writing a collection of alpine and ice climbing routes. It looks like it will be completed soon. looking forward to!
There were 2 participants. Although both of them have been climbing, it was almost their first time on ice. Beta Ozawa accompanied us for support.

Due to the warm winter, the ice in the Yatsugatake area began to melt in late February, and there was a concern that the event would not be held, but the cold returned in March and the ice had refrozen.
Initially, we had planned to hold the event at Minamisawa Otaki and Kotaki, but since it was likely to be the last ice cream event of the season, we expected it to be very crowded, so we decided to move it to the back of the river and at the soy sauce barrels.
The back of the riverbed is short and the route to the soy sauce barrel is limited, so I was worried whether I would be satisfied, but thanks to Mr. Hiroken, who knows everything about playing with ice, he provided a course on how to ensure safety in various situations. It was fulfilling.

Day1 February 16th
All participants left Tokyo by car at 4 o’clock. Arrived at Yatsugatake Sanso at 7 o’clock. The parking lot was about 90% full. I met up with Hiroken at 8 o’clock.
After receiving an explanation about the content and equipment of the course, we started at 9am.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the back of the river from Yatsugatake Sanso.
First, we set up two top ropes on the gently sloping ice and warmed up while learning the basics of how to climb.
Next, move to the next small icicle with a stacut. Descend by rappelling from the top of the icicle. I had fun while learning about safety on alpine routes.
After lunch, we learned how to hit an ice screw on a gentle slope and practiced it on the top rope.
Move to vertical ice and climb up. At this point it was about 3pm. As expected, it seems difficult compared to the gentle slope. It seems that each child is facing issues such as how to maintain balance and how to use crampons.
We climbed until after 5pm and the day ended.

Return to Yatsugatake Sanso where you are staying, take a bath, and start dinner. First, let’s toast with beer. Beer after playing to your heart’s content is special! Samgyetang served in a custom-made stone pot was delicious.

Day2 February 18th
We ate at 6 o’clock, relaxed a bit, and left at 8:00. For meals, you can choose between Western and Japanese food, and everyone eats Japanese food, The Japanese Meal, which comes with mackerel simmered in miso and natto. Calm down.
We arrived at the parking space around 9am, got ready and headed out. Head along the stream to the soy sauce barrel. There are a couple of high winding spots along the way, but they all pass along the stream.
There is ice on the top of the stream, but it’s very fragile, so we had to go upstream looking for safe footing. A rope is provided to ensure safety when passing through small waterfalls.
It took us 2 hours to approach, but it was a great learning experience for finding routes and ensuring safety when going up the Fuyusawa River.

Around 11:30, we tied up the top rope and started climbing. On this day, my goal was to create a pseudo-lead while driving ice screws.
I climbed several routes on the left, which are easier to climb, and climbed using a pseudo lead. Both of them made it safely.
Next, we set up a rope on the route on the right and reviewed all of the lessons we learned this time. Both of them were able to improve their skills, such as hitting the ax, balancing, kicking the crampons, and rhythm.
We climbed until around 4pm and finished. I arrived at the parking space after 5pm. I returned to Tokyo around 10pm.

Thank you to the two participants and our instructor Hiroken! !

In cooperation with Mountain Works, instructors We welcomed Kenji Narita.
There were 6 participants. All women. To support us, Junko Sasagawa, who is an Ice Climbing World Cup finalist and instructor of Beta’s dry touring course, and Beta Ozawa accompanied us.

The Yonago Fudo area is known for its many difficult icefalls suitable for advanced climbers, and for its long approaches. Bizarre Falls is an introductory route within the Yonago Fudo area.
Although the ice conditions were not good, we had our Narita guide set up a top rope and climbed up using 4 routes.

Day1 February 17th
Those traveling by car will take the Beta train at 3 o’clock, and those taking the train will take the Shinkansen at 6 o’clock.
Meet at Nagano Station at 8am and drive for about 30 minutes from there to the day-trip hot spring facility, Yukkuland. Meet the guide at .
Change cars and go to the trailhead. Arrived at the trailhead parking lot before 10am.
There wasn’t much snow this time, so we were able to travel by car instead of riding a snowmobile.

After walking the mountain trail for about an hour, we decided to stay overnight Go to Nekodake Sanso. On the way, we visited Fudo Falls, a sacred shrine, and prayed at Yonago Takiyama Fudoson Okunoin Temple, which has been used as a Shugen dojo from the Edo period to the present.
After a light lunch at the mountain hut and a walk next to Fudo Falls, we headed to our destination, the Bizarre Falls.
On the way, from the observation deck of the sulfur mine ruins, you will be impressed by the panoramic view of the icefalls in the Yonago area.
The time was 13:00 and we arrived at the waterfall in about 40 minutes.

The ice conditions were not very good, so the guide team that was the starting team seemed to be in trouble.
At that time, Junko-sensei said, “Let’s practice hitting the ice!” and everyone took out their axes and started checking their form.
The guide team, who had seen the situation, worked hard to ensure safety and found a line that looked like it could be climbed and set up the top rope.

We started climbing around 13:30. On this day, we all climbed three different routes and left around 5pm.
The meal was motsu nabe prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Sato, who were provided support. For those who don’t like offal, they made a chicken dumpling hotpot. .
Finish with noodles. it was delicious.
The next day, I decided to leave early to climb in the best possible ice conditions.
After the meal, some people drink while chatting, while others go to sleep in preparation for tomorrow. Everyone had a great time.

The sleeping rooms are large separate rooms for men and women. Prepare a sleeping bag and go to bed on top of the provided futon.

Day2 February 18th
We ate at 6:00 and departed at 6:30. The meal was warm ramen with rolls and leftover hot pot.
On this day, the advance team also set up ropes at Juhachihaba Falls and began climbing at two locations, including Biyo Falls. Around 8 o’clock.
We continued climbing until around 12 noon, when the ice conditions started to deteriorate, and then finished.
I was able to climb a lot. Thank you to the guide team who took care of our safety.

Return to the hut, have a light lunch, and head down the mountain. We arrived at the trailhead parking lot at 3:00pm and moved by car.
The group dispersed at Nagano Station around 5pm.
