Mountain Photos

Here are some photos of the Japan Alps. Nagano, the site of the Olympics, is in the Northern Alps. These are near Kamikochi, a popular area in the Central Alps. If you need topographic maps, please contact me. We may be able to work out some kind of barter arrangement!

Me on Mt. Hotaka.

I had to camp on the helipad because of a lack of flat spots and water.
