muikabochi 208 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My friend hiked Hiyoriyama last weekend. From base camp, he said it took about 5 seconds to get to the summit. (Of course, all done naked). 日和山(ひよりやま)は、宮城県仙台市宮城野区蒲生にある標高3mの山。「日本一低い山」として知られる。 Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It makes Billinge Lump looks like the Alps! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It looks like it was made with a bulldozer. I hope its got a yellow pole with the height marked at the summit. If your friend wants a less strenuous day out next time, Japan also has the world's shortest escalator. It ends in a flight of stairs. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Looks like some nice BC treed terrain on the back side. Does the ropeway run this time of year? Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I hear patrol get angry if you duck the ropes. Link to post Share on other sites
Boolugu Mez 3 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Doing that in one climb is pretty gnarly - most folk need to do it in stages over several days or even weeks in order to acclimatise and avoid the seriously debilitating and often deadly effects of altitude sickness.

snowdude 44 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Your friend must be tough to climb that super high 3m mountain! wow!!! Link to post Share on other sites

gozaimaas 61 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It doesn't matter if they work or not. You simply dont have time to take a photo, you must exit the death zone immediately. Link to post Share on other sites
