★★ No.3 Route 5.9

Thin crack with a short wide section in the middle. Traverse left at the horizontal about a meter below the piton, then follow the corner up past the block and end at a bolt/chain anchor with rap rings up and to the right. (5.9 in the Hyakuiwaba guide book, 5.10a in the latest Rock & Snow topo)

There`s not a lot of information about climbing in Japan in English. Much of the information is only available in Japanese - or of course here on theCrag!

The Japan Free Climbing Association (http://freeclimb.jp/seibi/seibi.htm) is a good point of contact and there is a set of 5 guidebooks (all in Japanese) and an alpine guide book in English available covering all of Japan and its thousands of sport and trad routes and boulders.
