I climbed Tateyama today. This really was my first time with a serious mountain hike, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Beautiful little flowers - the white ones are Aleutian Avens and the pink - Schizocodon soldanelloides.
From Murodo, to the peak and back took about 5 hours. I encountered sunshine, clouds, rain, wind, and saw snow - it was wonderful!
It was very steep and it took about 7 min. to the other end - Bijodaira Station.
Murodo, the start of Tateyama hike is at altitude of 2,450 m (8,067 ft).
We had to walk over snow.
The weather cleared when we got to Ichinokoshi, 2,700 m (8,858 ft) point.
From that point was very rocky and steep climb.
Almost at the top - great view!
The peak - 3,003 m (9,852 ft).
Then the weather turned again to cloudy/rainy.
Walking down on more snow.
From Murodo, to the peak and back took about 5 hours. I encountered sunshine, clouds, rain, wind, and saw snow - it was wonderful!
