Out-and-back to Horiyama from Okura via Baka Ridge

A YAMAP activity log records an out-and-back hike from Okura to Horiyama along Baka Ridge (Baka-one), a route described in the log as famously steep. The activity title refers to Horiyama–Tonodake in the Tanzawa mountains, near Hirugatake. The log says the hiker reached Horiyama and turned back, and did not continue to Tonodake on this trip.

Recorded figures

  • Total time: 6 hours 42 minutes
  • Rest: 2 hours
  • Distance: 10.3 km
  • Ascent: 915 m
  • Descent: 915 m
  • Course constant: ordinary (ふつう), 22, calculated from a standard time of 5 hours 31 minutes

The log says the ridge was as hard as expected. The hiker did not reach Hanatate Sanso, and therefore did not see Mount Fuji. They wrote that they plan to try to reach Tonodake the following Sunday. No calendar date is given for that plan.

The entry also notes a registered hiking plan, a map, GPX data, and checkpoint times running from about 08:40 to about 15:22. Average pace is mentioned, but no pace figure is given. Individual checkpoint arrivals, departures, and intervals are not clearly separated in the source text, so they are not restated here.
