Yari on the clearest of blue mornings, Day 7. The day before we'd sat on its tiny peak, wondering how the hell we were going to get down.

Sunset at Sugonorikoshi, Day 3. Typhoon 13 had left us stranded, with winds so high to make the formidable Yakushidake impassable. There was nothing else to do but photograph the sunset.

Day 5. The hat reaches the peak of Kurobegorodake, a beautiful mountain in the very depths of the North Alps.
