Koji Hagiwara, known as the "Mountain Editor-in-Chief," has been explaining mountaineering techniques for many years on the NHK BS TV program "Japan's 100 Famous Mountains." Based on the knowledge he has gained over his 50 years of mountaineering experience, he introduces the basics of how to walk safely in the mountains without getting tired. He explains practical techniques as he climbs the mountain trail from the trailhead to the summit of Kitadake in the Southern Alps. This video is linked to the book "Editor-in-Chief Hagiwara's Mountain School 2: Climbing Ability" published by Yama-to-Keikoku-sha, so reading the book as well will deepen your understanding. In addition to walking techniques, he thoroughly explains the "seven abilities" that make mountain climbing safer and more enjoyable, from how to make a climbing plan to what to do if you get lost!
