Year of the typhoon

September 17, 2016

For 2016, we got inspired by the Nihon Hyaku-meizan – a book listing 100 remarquable mountains. So we selected 13 checkpoints, all high-altitude passes and mountainous areas.
With a little less distance but a lot more vertical ascent, that would be an Odyssey for the climbers. But typhoons got in the way, and riding in the non-stop torrential rain proved to be the real difficulty.
