To enjoy snowboarding in Tateyama

Continuing from last June, we will be able to take up the activities in Tateyama again.
I am very happy to have you pay attention to this Hokuriku region, which is hard to hit the spot.

In this article, I would like to introduce the 19-day mountain trip that I stayed until the other day, in several parts, including the tent life and the contents of the shooting.

It was a fairly long schedule, and the contents were very rich, so I don't know where to cut out and write ... Anyway, this time, the actions I was writing locally at that time from preparation, equipment, planning to mountain climbing. I will try to write while remembering based on a notebook.

First of all, the plan and contents of this shooting are as follows.

The length of stay is 20 days.The plan is to roughly divide the points near Mt. Tsurugi and Raichosawa, and set up a schedule of 2 cools in the first half and the second half.
Why do you need as many as 20 days?Speaking of which, stagnation due to bad weather must occur.Also, I can't glide so many in a day.It comes from two main reasons.

Sit down and wait for the time.By doing so, the probability of good weather will increase, and it will be easier to seize the chance to meet at the timing when shadows are likely to appear, such as the morning sun and the setting sun.And if you stay a lot for a day, you simply get more time.Because I think so.

Oyama Shrine
At Oyama Shrine in Ashikuraji, Tateyama-cho, where the mountain god is enshrined.Pray for safety in the mountains.Including the test-taker, I stopped drinking for about two months before and after, and went to the mountain line.

 

Next is the content.

This time, I tried to put up a cool theme such as expedition TATEYAMA.If you look it up in a dictionary, the meaning of expedition is as follows.There are expeditions, trips (with certain purposes such as exploration and academic research), and exploration trips.It was exactly the word that was perfect for the theme we envisioned, and the sound was simply cool (laughs).
In fact, the field of Tateyama is ridiculously wide, and there are points and terrain that you can walk on, and the possibilities of encountering wonderful slopes are endless.

So, this time, the theme is to find out how much you can use your body and mind, walk, walk, walk around, how many points you can go to, what kind of slope there is, and so on. did.

And then, the important factors that influence the success or failure of the expedition.A member of a party.
A place where help does not come easily even if trouble occurs.If you live for dozens of days in such a place, you cannot leave your life in an easy relationship.Of course, the other party will think so too.If so, you need a reliable companion.

Let's introduce such important members in order

Yuta Nishikawa (Rampjack, capita, union, deelux, spy, 686) Sub-leader (The appearance and outstanding skills that make the mountainous area look like anyway. Support everyone with positive thinking. The previous life is surely the Sherpa tribe)

Masato Morikawa (Rampjack,) Photographer (cool and fashionable talented producer. Even if you lose one pole during the period, Mr. nice cool survived with the patience of the monk and the coolness of his own)

Tsubasa Hirose (Rampjack) Enlivening role (rich imagination and untied creativity. Deep and deeply seasoned face increases with sunburn. The whiteness of the applied sunscreen is unmatched)

Tomoaki Hashimoto (Yamao) Coordinator (Silent, Mendokusagari, there is nothing to the right if you dismiss it. The sheep covered with such a wolf's skin is actually a super nice person who is kind and powerful.)

And all 5 people including myself.

The members who will be entering the mountain this time are all genuine local Toyama riders, and they have exchanges throughout the snow & OFF season, and last year they have already been together for 14 days in Tateyama.

Therefore, a perfect relationship has been established in the communication of high motivation and positive thinking consciousness.
Also, I would like to introduce Morikawa Minato, the older brother of Morikawa Brothers, who was originally decided to participate.
This time I abandoned the accompaniment due to the hernia I suffered just before, but last year's long-term climbing was the same time, and it is an important one of our party.I'm very disappointed, but I'm hoping for an early return.

Now we have a plan and the contents have been decided.And the mens are also available.Then I have to pack up my luggage and get ready.When it comes to luggage, there are 20 days worth of luggage.It's easy to imagine that its weight is quite heavy.
Since it's a big deal, I'll write down what I brought here.If you write everything out, it will be ridiculously detailed, so if you try to summarize it somehow.

food

Alpha rice 200g x 46 bags (including spare)
Action food Fruit granola 800g x 3 bags (including spare)
Instant miso soup 16g x 46 bags (morning and evening, including spares)
In addition, instant pasta, pasta sauce, instant ramen, dried fruits, candy, chocolate, sweet natto, instant coffee, amino acid drinks, etc ... There are only so many foods!

I think that the total weight of these is roughly 14 to 15 kg.
In addition to this, a set of tents, mats, sleeping bags, zelts, sets of boards, boots, wear, down JKT & PNT & BOOT, accessories such as goggles and gloves, and mountains such as snowshoes, poles, crampons, ice axes, carabiners, slings, ropes, beacons, GPS, etc. Equipment, burners, ice axes, headlights, camera and mobile charging equipment, batteries, changing clothes, toiletries, emergency supplies, books to read when stagnant, etc.

Furthermore, when you arrive at the site, there will be water ...

It's a reality that I don't want to think too much about, but I think that 40kg is well over when all of these are packed.There is about one woman (laughs)

Zack after packing.As you'll see later, these two sack (we call it a double sack) are combined, snowboarded and walked around.

I managed to get rid of my luggage, and I came to the point where I could just carry it.

The important remaining work is to deliver the mountain climbing plan in accordance with the Toyama Prefecture regulations.
Our action plan includes Mt. Tsurugi gliding, so the application must be submitted 20 days before the day of the event.

* We were planning to enter the mountain from April 4th, so we applied for it on March 16th, 20 days ago.

In addition, when I enter Tateyama, I would like to inform you that it is mandatory to equip a beacon from this season.

Then, April 2014, 4, when everything was in place.
The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was opened with the spring weather.

20 days of expectation and anxiety finally begin
