This is a self-authored book by Tsuneo Hasegawa, a leading climber of the 1970s and 80s, depicting his youth from age 15 to 26, and is considered his representative work. In 1963 (age 15), after graduating from junior high school and joining Nippon Columbia, he was introduced to the world of mountaineering when his mountain-loving older brother took him hiking in Tanzawa. From then on, around the ages of 18 to 20, he became engrossed in stream climbing in Tanzawa and rock climbing on Mount Tanigawa. Around age 21, he began working on the development of the southwest face of Mt. Kaita and Senjo-dake, and Mt. Myojo. At 23, he became an aspiring mountain guide. And at 26, he joined the Everest expedition team, and after struggling with human relationships, he began his path towards solo climbing. He looks back on his young days, when he had not yet achieved any significant accomplishments in the mountain world, after becoming famous for his successful solo winter ascents of the three major north faces of the European Alps. #TsuneoHasegawa #Book #Mountaineering"
