53: 2019 final episode with (Mansaku, Oya)

2019 final episode with Mansaku and Oya.
We read many interesting messages from listeners.

Today is Christmas day. Did Santa come to your house?

It is a valuable day for children to receive a gift unconditionally.
Although I (Mitsuo) has a skepticism of it, but I decided to give a present as a little compromise when my child was young.

However, when I buy wrapping paper, wrap the gift box myself and put a ribbon, it feels like my heart is warming.
And… I feel something when I took this home and prepared it for the next morning.
I noticed it. Christmas is not an event for those who receive gifts, but an event for those who give them.

Anyway, Thank you so much everyone. Happy holidays! – Mitsuo

With my advancement as a setter, I helped to conduct courses, and in order to give better explanation and guidance, I compiled the details of setting into sentences and documents so that I could systematically re-examine my knowledge and thoughts.


Climbing skills, route setting skills, words and common expressions used in discussions, quality of problems or lines, the effect of it, setting environment, training environment, organization – these are all part and parcel of route setting. These elements can’t be measured numerically, so I don’t have a scale at which it can be judged or evaluated in that manner. But, I would like to share my experience and knowledge with as many people as possible to help route setters grow.

New BLACK Large Pack used recycled PET material

The BLACK LARGE pack has been changed to a package using recycled PET materials.

The goal of increasing the bottle reuse rate remains the same. However, the reality is that pack products are sold more. While making bottle reuse the primary goal, we must reduce the damage that can be done to the package as naturally as possible.
