When I was a freshman in college, I was in a mountain club.

The lesson I learned was, "If I had the time and energy to do this kind of mountain training, I would get a part-time job and charter a helicopter to reach the summit".

Even now, this idea has not changed.

I left the mountain club soon after.

I was also busy working part-time to pay for school and living expenses.

Once when I was a freshman, I joined a party to traverse the Kita-Hotaka route for six nights and seven days.

We stayed in a series of tents, completely self-catering, without using a mountain lodge, so I was cold, hot, and in the worst physical condition and mood, and by the time I descended the mountain, I had lost 7 kg of weight.

And the whole time I was climbing, I was struggling with "nausea" caused by lack of sleep.

The arrival point of the party was Kamikochi, down from Kita Hotaka.

I remember taking a bath in Kamikochi (it was like a field bath) and the soap finally foamed up after the third wash.

I happen to be watching a video of the beautiful "Kamikochi in fresh greenery" right now, however,
