mattlucas 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 I don't think the Kamikochi area opens till GW Montoya so it will be an extra 7k getting in there. And you have to go through the tunnel. Although you could always go up the ShinHotaka Ropeway and then down a couloir into Kamikochi. Bikes are the way. Once you get the system dialed it is really efficient. I can't wait to get the pictures to show how easy it all was getting to the base of the valley. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the elevation gain is 1700-1800 metres. Not as far as the Kamikochi route but a bit more elevation. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 yeah your right but that cover also kept my bag dry on the hike in. I will always bring a cover on a hike. Link to post Share on other sites
