A small expedition threads a high mountain route above Harinoki Pass, crossing snow and rocks to reach Higashizawa valley. They bivouac in a crude bough hut, fish for trout, endure wet wood and mosquitoes, then tackle a treacherous river crossing and a near-vertical, thirty-degree ascent around a mountain shoulder.
