Here are my other two favourite shots of that trip:
The first is the ascent route, a section called Kani-no-Tatebai (Crab's-upward-scuttle). There are three people in the shot for scale, going roughly up the middle of the picture.
The second is the descent route, which follows the ridge. The lighter gray line tracing over the lump in the middle distance is the path. Those other guys were some hard core climbers who came up by an alternate (harder) route.
This being Japan, there were at least 20 other people who did that mountain that day - and one jerk made a mobile phone call from the peak. Way to bring down my adrenaline high, bastard. :p
