The final climb up the snow-covered Kassen Ridge

At Kassenzawano-Toge, you can already see the summit and the final destination, Tsubamesanso Lodge, but in the snowy season from late autumn onwards, the climb from here is the last stronghold. Chain spikes and crampons are essential as there are some sections with chains, so you need to be careful where you step. Even so, if you think of it as one last push, your feet will move. #Mountain climbing #Snow scenery #Tsubame-dake
