We asked Tsuchiya Tomoya of the outdoor equipment store Hiker's Depot for tips on how to make your mountain climbing gear lighter. He actually had the equipment of Yama-to-Keikokusha employees checked, and shared tips on how to review and replace your gear! The key is to choose what you need and what you don't need to use to suit your mountain climbing style, and make it lighter. We'll introduce an eye-opening method that will allow you to make weight savings without having to buy new gear, by carefully checking each piece of equipment one by one. This time, we'll check equipment for a solo mountain climb, a three-day, two-night summer traverse of the Northern Alps. We succeeded in reducing the weight by about 40%, from 10.2kg to 6.4kg!
