Mizugaki Summer Session
Summer in Japan is hot and humid and for someone from south Louisiana to say that should really tell you something. As I have said many times before, Mizugaki is my favorite place to climb here in Japan. The rock is great, but the entire atmosphere is what keeps me returning. Well, that and the endless new rock that seems to ever permeate.
Recently I met up with my buddy Jack to sample some new problems and relax sans kiddo and work. The weather was splitter and there was an amazing breeze that seemed to pass through the surrounding trees. Mizugaki is much cooler than most climbing areas this time of the year here and actually offers decent friction even on the days that the temps reach 90+. There is always shade to be found under the thick canopy of pines, cedars and other indigenous trees. This day was wonderful, though I was not able to stick the crux move on my project, which is sick. A few new lines and another memorable day in Japan marked year three for us here. One more year here then who knows, Europe next?
I am off to France in a couple days to follow North Face athlete Akiyo Noguchi and Adidas athlete Sachi Amma. I will be documenting them at the World Cup in Briancon and then we will spend a week pulling in Ceuse. Let’s hope for clear skies and cool weather.
Also, I just returned from a trip to Alaska. Check out my website www.eddiegianelloni.com for a few samples of the work that Andrew Fast and I put together.
