mattlucas 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 The road doesn't open till the 17th Tha Nagano side is open now. Might be able to get pictures if you go up from that side. Link to post Share on other sites
pon farr 0 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Possibly going up there early next week, if I make it will take some pics. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 The Murodo Sanso has started its cam again. The snow looks pretty good. I was in Toyama yesterday, and from afar, it looked very misty and cold up in the mountains. I'd imagine that they're still digging out the road where the wall is. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I bet that place is very very busy as well esp the first few days. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 That is amazing. You can imagine how deep it is in that that camera is on the top of a very tall pole. The snow on some of those faces looks really shiny. Hocky skates probably good in the morning. So different from when FT and I were up there in November Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 yeah looking at that cam in nov. it looked really bare. at least we wont have to worry about the rocks toque. The ridges did take a beating but then again they always due. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I guess we will be up there next weekend. Not to much will melt by then. The ridges will get a bit wider. That's about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 brit the place starts at 2000 meters so the snow is plentiful. its all hiking though and if you want peak runs the hikes are at least 2.5 hours. Link to post Share on other sites
