Echizen Washi

I have a younger brother. He loves surfing, but last year November for his first time he felt like trying a hike with me. And he bought a very very good shoes for it. Then it snowed, so I was waiting for this opportunity and finally ! 

I was afraid it would be the first and last chance to go with him imagining he would say not so exciting. So I chose the long one and quite difficult one.

He said I looked like in a pajama, meaning not really nice looking. BUT everyone could tell I was a very good mountain climber watching me so energetically moving forward without any proper equipment like crampons for snow. For going back, it was very steep but we could ski with the mountain shoes.

I love mountains partly because nature treats us very equally.
