TR: Oomado, Japan : stymied by the river gods!
I noticed that ya siad that ya had “rice planting” to do!!!!!!
Commercially or just for self consumption????
Love the rap also!!!!! I would love to be able to trek around the “backyard” like ya do!!!!!
It brings back memories of trekin up the mountain and back down the creek as a kid!!!!! (mind you the mountain was nothin like the ones in your backyard!!!!!)
rice planting is a little commercial and def supplies us & the extended family with rice. It’s been in the family for generations - it’s what they do.
Yeah, it’s a pretty sick backyard. I’m a little daunted by it - many ways to die there.
check out the way to climb to the top of tsurugi-dake (the big pointy peak in the first pic of this thread). Def something I DON’T want to do
any takers?
Do people in japan actually ride or do they just slog up sketchy stuff to downclimb back to the car?
Quality opening post!!
Might just be me but I can’t view any of the photos in your last post, Gamblor. All showing up as broken images?
Yeah, I can’t see em either!!!!!
Me either, glad its not just me
ah, i grabbed them off some blog so I’ll put a direct link in a bit
if you look at the blog, then look back here they work!
it doesnt look THAT daunting haha
if you look at the blog, then look back here they work!
Oooh, it must be an optical illusion then 
Cool pics, I’d actually really like to climb that
you realize that if you slip, you die? you don’t need any special skills to climb it but you can’t be scared of heights.
In the summer it is always packed. Long lineups, and if someone loses their nerve and freezes up, everybody has to wait longer
Heights isnt a problem for me. Done a fair bit of rockclimbing, mountain treking and accending decending dangerous terrain. Definately used to being in outdoors situations where mistakes can lead to death.
i could never do it. i am shit scared of heights
cool K2. You should come out and do it.
I’d love too. Hope it doesn’t sound like I’m saying it looks easy or not dangerous, cos I believe it would be extremely challenging n dangerous. Just I lOok at something like that and get excited
