Rock Climbing in Nagano
In Hakuba, or a close distance away, there are numerous climbing options for outdoor routes and indoor climbing walls.
Ogawa-yama, on the Yamanashi-Nagano border, has hundreds of multi-pitch granite climbs, with routes ranging from 5 to 12.5. Scattered
through Nagano many bolted sport climbing sections are a twenty-minute walk from the parking lot.
Next to Hakuba, the famous Kashima-Yari East Ridge is a multi-day climb into alpine country.
Indoor Climbing in Hakuba
Hakuba has several indoor bouldering walls: Evergreen's office gym, Alps gym, and the city of Hakuba has an outdoor climbing wall with an overhang
that makes climbing possible on rainy days. Twenty minutes from Hakuba, in Omachi, there is a climbing wall with a nice variety of difficult routes and a bouldering wall.

In our full day rock climbing program we will practice basic climbing techniques on a sportwall in the morning and then graduate to a local outdoor crag (weather permitting). Safety is our number one priority so we advance to your comfort level and set up climbing routes that will test you, but are heaps of fun to climb.

Multi-Day Climbing
Hakuba is truly a mountaineer’s paradise. Steep peaks rise up to over 2500m and with linked ridges climbers can access many of the local summits with relative ease. Some of the more popular climbing routes are the famous Three Peaks of Hakuba (Hakubasan-zan) and The Tateyama Alpine Route that spans across Nagano prefecture and Toyama prefecture. With this type of tour we use mountain huts and occasionally tents. Prerequistes for this tour are experience in mountain climbing and your own gear, however equipment rentals are available from Evergreen. Please contact us for more details.

Bouldering
If you want to climb, but aren’t quite sure about the height factor, then bouldering may be for you. Used by pro climbers to train and even a sport unto itself, bouldering is basically free climbing up small, low level (under 4m) cliffs and boulders. We have a number of indoor and outdoor training walls that are great for honing those dynamic climbing skills. All gear rentals are included in this price.
