We were worried the heavy rain would make the bridges uncrossable. This bigger bridge though was no problem.

Made of the bridges looked just like this wooden one here. Fairly safe but the probably can't survive more than a season or two

This spot was probably the most dangerous of the rivers we crossed. The water level was so high that we had to take a few larger jumps to avoid the rapids.

The rope was very helpful in crossing this larger wooden bridge. There were three of us so one person could hold the rope up while the others crossed.

We made it to the ridge line! The yellow tower to the left marks the descending trail which, unfortunately was where a young climber lost his life in the winter time unable to find his way down.

北岳山荘. The mountain hut was more of a villa/hotel than a hut. While it was very nice inside, 農鳥小屋 was a much more authentic Japanese experience.

This is a quick picture of the most technical part of the descent. It's not super hard but you have to wait for people to go up and down, one-by-one.

The crystal clear water crossing under one of the last bridges. We had to follow this river down which meant lots of wet stones and streams.

Thank you for your interesting post.
I went there on same day.But My route was the opposite of yours.We might have passed each other somewhere on Aug.10.Anyway you are great to climb the steep of Daimonsawa in short time and brave to cross overflowing rivers.
Thank you.
8116さん, thank you for your reply!
I'm sure that we passed by each other sometime during our climbs. I don't think there
were too many foreign people climbing so, if you saw one....it was probably me
You are right about the rivers around Diamonsawa, they were pretty dangerous and I was a little nervous crossing the one that had no bridge. I did get a little bit of water in my boots from the river but it was a fun adventure. I thought my pace wasn't very fast compared to my friends but I was happy to finish!
Thank you for your comments!
