We've received some autumn mountain climbing photos from DANG JP's support photographer , Akagi "BON" Kazuaki ( @hvtbon ), so we'd like to introduce them to you!

Armed with DANG JP's new autumn collection PRON TO, we went on a trip to traverse Mt. Mitsurei Tsurugi in Shikoku with Missy ( @akinorimishima ), a member of the mountaineering YouTube channel THUNDER BIRD HILLS !

I'm excited by the many wonderful views.

The journey begins at the Mitsumine trailhead

This climb is a two-day, one-night traverse course from Mitsumine to Tsurugi, with camping overnight.

Carrying backpacks filled with about 15 to 16 kg of luggage, we first enter the mountain from the Mitsumine trailhead and aim for the summit of Mitsumine.

Blissful coffee time

We leisurely made our way up the gentle forest slope, taking some photos along the way, passing through a wetland area where a pleasant breeze blew through, to the mountain hut just before the summit.

A short rest in front of the hut.

We took a break with some drip coffee made by BON and then set off again for the summit.

Reaching the summit of Mitake!

Although it was a cloudy day, the view from just before Mitsumine Hut was incredibly spectacular, with exposed rock faces and the autumn leaves of the mountains below !

We safely reached the summit and set off for Shirakami Shelter , where we would be setting up our tents.

At the end of the day

The two arrived safely at the Shiraga Refuge Shelter and immediately set up their tents!

Once you've taken a break, it's time for dinner and a toast.

The main dish for dinner was "Spinach and Bacon Carbonara" from UL Bento , a popular portable lunch box.

The food, created with the concept of being " a trail food brand that allows you to eat light, easy, safe and delicious meals even in the mountains ," is lightweight and high in calories, yet so delicious you wouldn't believe it was portable food.

We toasted with highballs and went to bed at 6:30pm!

To be continued on DAY 2...
