This is a course for those who want to step up their ice climbing. Of course, beginners are also welcome.
We will mainly focus on top rope climbing, but depending on your skill level, we will also do lead climbing and screw installation.
And best of all, you can get direct advice from Mr. Hirokawa. I want to be able to climb the silvery ice wall freely like Hiroken!
This year, we can still expect cold waves, so the ice season is likely to be a little longer.
We can look forward to the 22nd and 23rd as well!
If you have seen NHK’s “Tackling the Great Ice Wall at Ichinokurazawa, Tanigawadake,” please take a look!
In addition, Mr. Hirokawa is currently also the representative of “Kailas Japan.”
You can try Kailas axes and crampons! ! Also, as a participant benefit, you will receive discounts and other benefits when purchasing!
3/22-23 Yatsugatake Ice Gallery!
