Mitake rock climbing

The rock climbing (bouldering) in Mitake is centered around the riverbed of Tama River

Some of Japan's famous boulder problems can be found in the Mitake area.[1] On boulders such as "Ninja Rock"[2] and "Deadend"

The rock consists of limestone[3]/ chert. With boulders between a few feet till 20 feet tall.[4] The boulders are graded according to the Japanese Kyu/Dan grading system[5]. With problems ranging between Fb3 and Fb8B.

In 2001 Dai Koyamada made the first ascent of Kanimushi 8B[6], the hardest problem in Mitake.

Mitake is easily accessed by train from Tokyo.[7] Taking the Ome line from Tachikawa station to Mitake Station (Tokyo)
