[Second Offline Event for Snow Mountain Beginners] Climb a Snowy Mountain! [Sunday, March 30, 2025]

Information about the second offline event of 2025!

Last time, we held an introductory tour to snowy mountains, mainly snow cave digging and snowshoe hiking tours, but this time we will be holding an introductory tour to snowy mountains at the end of March, when the weather is relatively stable, and we will be climbing the mountains in spring when there is still snow left!

You can go mountain climbing or hiking solo, but you find it difficult to gain experience in snowy mountain activities on your own, and you also find it difficult to go on a guided tour, which can be expensive

This time too, the plan is perfect for those who want to gain experience in the snowy mountains

Date, time and location

Date and time: Sunday, March 30, 2025

place:

Beginners to snowy mountains will climb relatively easy routes and mountains equipped with ice axes, crampons, and snowshoes

At the moment, we are considering the following candidates, and will select the final route from these based on the members' wishes, the amount of snowfall, the weather forecast for the day, etc

[Strong candidates]

・Northern Yatsugatake (Mount Tateshina, etc.)

・Mount Hotaka in Joshu

・Mount Nikko Shirane

[Other candidates]

・Tanigawadake (Tenjin Ridge)

・Central Alps

・Mount Kuroboyama

*We will provide detailed information about the location, details, and advice on preparations for the snowy mountains and what to bring to those who have registered

Matches include:

People who have always wanted to try snowy mountains but have never taken the plunge

People who want to experience snowy mountain hiking accompanied by an experienced hiker

Participation fees and equipment

Free for standard membership

For everyone else, the event participation fee is 1,000 yen

Please prepare your own personal equipment necessary for climbing snowy mountains

please also refer to basic equipment list for day hikes in the snowy mountains, previously introduced on Outdoor Gearzine

Just to be safe, unlike a guided tour, this is an offline meet-up between readers, so please keep in mind that you are responsible for your own life. However, we will of course provide thorough support to help you climb the snowy mountains safely, so please rest assured about that

We have some spare snowshoes, snowshoes, crampons, ice axes and other specialized equipment for snowy mountains, so if you don't have any but would like to try climbing, please feel free to contact us
