I'd like to start a small running thread on ice citings on some of the popular passes/toge's for this winter. I know that north facing sides and/or shady climbs are more apt to have ice issues - so a toge may be clear on one side and not so clear on the other, but I thought it would be helpful to share of of our latest pass attempts at our favorites.
Please post your recent experiences - with dates and any condition information you think people might find helpful (i.e, all clear, spots of ice, sections of sheet ice, unpassable unless you are David Hasselhoff, etc...
The toge's I'm thinking that would be helpful are:
- Wada/Jimba
- Takao/Odarumi
- Tommin no mori (main road - Motoshuku up)
- Kazahari (up to top from Okutama lake)
- Karazahri rindo
- Oo toge
- Yanagizawa
- Matsuhime (Kosuge up and from Otsuki)
- Yabitsu (Hadano up and Miyagase up)
- Doshimichi (to tunnel on way to Yamanakako)
- Mikuni (from oyama/Fuji speedway)
- Tsuru
- Kobu tunnel
Please add others and post away.....
