Bouldering Japan 22-Jun-2008 At 10:24:21 PM Tor

Just got back from Japan. The climbing is cool, granite with lots of texture, many cracks for trad climbers, and lots of fun bouldering. I was the only white person there, but felt very welcome. Japanese people are incredibly polite and friendly, I recommend this spot for an exotic holiday. You get cold beer from the vending machine and there is a 4 dollar sauna, very hot, in which to relax after a great day climbing.

I found traces of Royal Robbins and Chris Sharma, so its not entirely exotic anymore.

I camped in my tent behind a boulder, sipping sake and eating grilled eel in the evening, had an awesome time!

Also, lots of historic sites to visit, I did my share of tourist wanking
