寒風山 @ 新居浜市・愛媛県
Mt. Kanppuzan @ Niihama city · Ehime Prefecture · Japan

When we were about to leave, clouds began to gather around over the edge of the mountain. Though the situation began to get worse, the mountain view became more attractive: sunshine broke through the clouds and shed on the body of the mountain.
Anyway, for our safeness, it was time to head downhill :-D

My first experience to climb a snow mountain.
I'd been looking forward to this for almost an entire winter, and collected almost every necessary equipment for mountain/snow mountain climbing, acting like a 10-year-old child longing for a spring excursion.

And it turned out to be perfect.

Just a heavy snow in the night before our climbing, yet when the sun rose again, the wind stopped, clouds dismissed, leaving us a purely silver world under the clear blue sky, the view in front of my eyes suddenly made me understood what had been luring me to this mountain throughout all this days.
