Self-Introduction | For First-Time Visitors (Mountain Hiking Record Summary)

Nice to meet you. I'm HiRO.
I walk along mountain ridges every weekend, mainly in the mountains of Shizuoka.

I love long hikes in quiet mountain areas,
and I keep records of them here on this note.

Beyond just distance and cumulative elevation gain,
I write about how I made decisions while hiking under the conditions of that day.

My hiking records include those details as well.

I keep the scenery I encountered on my weekend hikes along with photos.
The light on the ridges, the shadows on the snow, the distant mountain ranges. This is a magazine that records the "atmosphere of that moment" that I cannot fully capture in my hiking logs.

how I prepared, how I failed, and how I corrected my course.

I leave behind the process of such experiences.

What it means to walk the mountains of Shizuoka

In Shizuoka, there are not only famous mountains
but also many quiet and deeply flavorful mountains.

There are days with great views,
and days when the wind is too strong and I have to turn back.

Even so, the time spent walking the ridgeline
is always a little special.

I hope this note

・Becomes a time to think about the next mountain to walk
・Becomes a time to discover mountains you don't know yet

I would be happy if it could be a catalyst for that.

Focusing on the mountains of Shizuoka,
I will continue to increase my mountain climbing records little by little.

If there is a mountain you are interested in,
please feel free to read about it in the articles.

I would be happy if you could follow me.
