どうやら定義通りの表銀座は燕岳・大天井岳・槍ヶ岳らしい。それならいっそ常念山脈縦走と言った方がいいかな? 中房温泉から燕岳に登って、そこから尾根をたどって大天井岳、常念岳、蝶ヶ岳を縦走して上高地に下山するコースをやった。
侵攻アップグレード
Reolははじめて夏のRock in Japanで生でみた。その時も迫力すごかったけど、やっぱり短く感じてしまったよね… 秋はワンマンやると知ったらもうそれは行くしかないねと思った。抽選も運良くあたったので行ってきた。最高だった。
Uhuru!
Uhuru, ami szuahéliül szabadságot jelent, a Kilimandzsáró 5985m magas főcsúcsa. Először a Shira fennsíkról láttuk meg (bár elvileg ha jó idő van, még Arushából is lehet látni), aztán miután megmásztuk a Baranco falat, végig a bal oldalunkon magasodott.
Shira to Baranco
Living in a city for most of the time it’s always surprising just how clear the sky can be and how bright the stars can be once you’re in nature. That struck me at Mti Mkubwa too, the first camp on Kilimanjaro. “Oh, so that’s why it’s called the Milky Way!”
We started the day with a dancing-singing introduction from the porters and guides. It felt like we were at leisure of time, in no rush whatsoever. We woke up “early” of course (compared to when I’d normally wake up) but only left well past eight.
いざタンザニアへ
七大陸最高峰の一つ、アフリカの頂点キリマンジャロはタンザニアの国境の近くに位置する。日本から行くには直行便はもちろんなく、俺はドーハ乗り換えで行った。荷物はエルブルスと比べて、雪山用の重たい装備がいらなくてちょっとだけ軽量になった。それでもそこそこ重かったけどね。
Ocean @ Tokyo
The Ocean was one of the first “djent bands” in my library, so I was really happy when I heard that they will be playing live in Tokyo. It was also my first time visiting the famous Shimo-Kitazawa area and also ages since the last time I’d been to such a small venue.
I didn’t realize there would be four (!) other bands playing too, The Ocean had all my attention. Some of them were more experimental (reminding me of Deafhaven) while others less so, but to be honest after a while they just felt long.
But the wait was worth it, as The Ocean delivered magnificently. It was also fun to see the community culture centered around the venue. Reminded me a lot of the university music club.
