Hanatate Iwa Kante Jyou Slab

Hanatate Iwa Kante Jyou Slab
I went to this one in Winter time (Christmas holiday in 2018) and was so cold it was snowing. 

You have to cross the river to get and climb up the hill for about 15min. There are a subtle climbers trail to Hanatate Iwa.

The topo is here.

It does says not even a decimal.

The climb was easy 4 pitch slab. It was an easy 5.7 or less I felt.

It had a lot of large pockets, it looked as if spoon cuts in snow ridges as in summer snow, so it was a lot of foot stance. 

So this one is actually the 1st multi pitch for everyone in this crag.

It probably takes only a half day or so . So you may want to combine with other climbs too. .
