Sportclimbing & bouldering in Horai
Climbers are not allowed to leave quick-draws hanging from the routes overnight. According to the priests in charge of the many shrines on Mount Horai, this would greatly upset the numerous spirits that visits the forest; therefore, all QDs have to be taken down before nightfall.
That sounds quite charming and cute đ
If you have some dead time on a slow Monday morning, like I had, I highly recommend Jonas Wiklundâs climbing stories from Japan.
