>>2635008i free climbed the side of these falls in winter, alone. i had been reading about yamabushi in japan and how they would do all these austerities in the mountains and gain power from the harsh elements so wanted to see what all the fuss was about. somehow i didnt loose my footing despite no ice gear no rope no nothing just boots, JEANS (lol) and probably a cotton flannel. i was so retarted as a 20 yr old. im now nearly 40 and am happy that i put in the efforts to acclimate to cold weather as a young guy but im surprised i made it this far
