Climbing Mt. Nakadake in Aso, Kumamoto!
For the first hike of 2025, I’m back at Mt. Aso in Kumamoto! 🥾
Just about 2 years ago, I hiked Mt. Nakadake for the first time. The ridge pass this time was still challenging with large rocks and a steep ascent. Was lucky to have beautiful blue skies but the wind was relentless. At times, I worried about being swept off the mountain! 💨
Near the peak, there was snow on the ground and excessively harsh winds. RIP my video audio. 😭
Enjoyed a hot cup of Fukuoka ramen which was a highlight! I still can’t believe I was able to light the gas stove. 🍜
Overall a challenging hike with insane wind but stunning views. 🏔️
