Lifetime Climbers

International-level climbing is not complete until you have included Japanese style, something that has contributed to world alpinism for over a century. Like with most things, Japan does it differently, opening up whole new aspects of technique and perspective.

Existing Teams

Alpinism is usually a team pursuit, so existing teams are welcomed to hone their capacity and dynamic. Whether it’s a team heading to the Himalaya or working on technical stuff, the team that travels and climbs together has the best opportunities on the mountain.

“Bad weather but good times”

We got hit with a snow storm in the middle of a week trip. Roads closed. We got through eating ramen, going to hotsprings visiting gear shops and crossing to another area. Finally a more climbing.

“Coffee and climbing!”

If you like coffee you will like these guys. Even the wildest places we still had espresso including the sun rise from high on Mt Fuji. The ice was good, we learned a lot and now we are thinking about Tibet

“Coming back”

Climbing in Japan was totally new. We wanted to climb Asama and Fuji together and it was much harder than expected. We can do it now we know the tricks so are coming back next winter.

They’re not really ‘guides’. These guys are partners, lead a tight trip, covered a lot of ground and would do anything. Calling them guides is the wrong word because they don’t just do only that job. This is total immersion in climbing.
