2/12 (Sunday) Ice Climbing Step Up Course held @ Yatsugatake Kawaraoku

Beta Climbing Gym Seminar/Ice Climbing Step Up Course


Held on Sunday, February 12, 2023!
An ice climbing step-up course was held at Kawaraoku, Yatsugatake.
Mr. Kentaro Hirokawa was invited as a lecturer, and GINREIKAI Mepanna of Ice Climbing World Copper was invited as a support, making it a fulfilling course.
Kawaraoku is a slope located about 20 minutes on foot from Yatsugatake Sanso. You can fully enjoy it even on a day trip.
Practice ups and leads on a gentle slope, then climb vertically.
In the meantime, Mr. Hirokawa gave a lecture on how to drive an ice screw and how to make an abalakoff.
There are plenty of experiences such as the experience of Ice Fifi, which GINREIKAI Mepanna used at the World Cup.
The night before, the members who stayed at the Yatsugatake Sanso shavings the raw ham of the service.
The samgyetang for dinner was also delicious.
Ice climbing is a seasonal thing, so what I learned last season may be forgotten or not possible this season. .
But I would be happy if I could relearn and be able to do it. . Ice cream is an activity that you can enjoy forever.
Advertising at the end. Mr. Kentaro Hirokawa, who was invited as a lecturer, taught “Ice Climbing” and “Challenge! Alpine Climbing” He has authored many books such as Alpine Climbing.
As an introduction to alpine climbing, “Challenge…” has inspired many climbers to open new paths.
However, it was published 20 years ago, and everyone was waiting for the revised edition to be published. It’s probably been about five years since rumors of a revised edition were published.
Finally, it will be published this spring! ! ! !
On sale April 3, 2023! “You can make a reservation on Amazon!”

2/11 (Sat) Introductory ice climbing was held @ Fujimi Panorama Resort Summit Fall

Beta Climbing Gym Workshop/Introduction to Ice Climbing


2/11 (Sat) Introductory ice climbing was held !
As you know, the day before, there was heavy snow in the Kanto region and the Chuo Expressway was closed to traffic, so most people gave up on participating.
Only one person was able to participate!
As a result, participant was supported by two ice climbing world coppers, making it a fulfilling workshop.
We climbed while checking my form and balance, and had a lot of fun with ice fifi experience, pseudo lead, and more.
Icefall is close to the Tokyo metropolitan area and is easy to approach. Since it is a ski resort, you don’t need full winter mountain climbing equipment, making it the perfect environment for practicing climbing.
We will hold it again next year, so let’s all climb up!
It will be held at a little earlier timing.

Also, the two World Coppers who supported us this time, Junko Sasakawa, aka “Ginreikai Mepanna”, and Haruko Takeuchi, aka “Haruko of the World”.
thank you very much!
Beta will continue to support “Ginreikai Mepanna” and “SEKAI NO Haruko-“.
Thank you all for your support!
