We started at the Nanataki Trailhead of Mt. Iwate and went up to the Ojigokudani junction. It was about 12km round trip.

I neglected to introduce Angela Ortiz Pettas, the amazing athlete and spouse of Nick Pettas, who made the comment about doing a Spartan Race at 6:51 – she doesn't have a YouTube channel, but her Instagram account is https://www.instagram.com/angelaortizpettas/
How nice to see you both again 😀
Chris… Please bring proper hiking boots next time!
This was wonderful! thank you so much.
Why is Chris always wearing inappropriate footwear? Although, fair play – he has cheekbones again!
Such a Good video, and the scenery is absolutely stunning!
Thank you for sharing your mountain hiking adventures. When I do get to visit Japan, I won’t be able to make any of these hikes. My physical disabilities simply won’t permit it. So, I live vicariously through you, Quinlan, & others like Chris. Maybe you could come up with & show us, hikes that would be mindful of disabled folks. I use a cane on good days, a walker on bad days. Thanks!
why doesnt this guy get the views he deserves .. such an amazing channel and an even more amazing person
Great sights and thank you for helping Chris get some exercise.
I LOVE THE COLLABORATION .
That looks like a great hike.
Chris trying to do an impression of Quinlan sounded like a Dane speaking English, and I don't know how to feel about that 😛
lol of course chris broad is wearing jeans
You know, the funny thing is, I have a big fear of heights, but mountains don't seem to trigger it. A sheer cliffside would, but a very slanted mountain side wouldn't. If anything, I'd know I could slide down on my feet if necessary. The interesting part is that climbing a small tree would trigger my heights worse.
Not sure why. Just not bothered if I'm not off the ground.
not Chris hiking in jeans and plimsolls lol
Are you kidnapped, Chris?
Oh how did I miss this!! I was looking forward to seeing this collab!
Absolutely incredible content, it’s the first time your channel appeared for me! I used to try this kind of stuff ten years ago when I came to Japan but have been playing it safe since 🥲Subbed!
I will come to Japan one day and I will go to a hike with you.
Iwould love this to be a game and i would choose Chris's character – wrong shoes and all. haha!
Yo! Chris'impression of you was spot on! I was actually surprised how accurate it was!
Sorry I'm late but it looks like you took Nicholas Pettas and friends up the mountain. 🙂
So this is the sort of thing I missed out on by not getting ahold of you earlier. Sorry about that!
Beautiful. Amazed Chris made it. He seems like the kind of guy who'd need helicopter rescue 😛
Props to guiding everyone safely on the trail. The spot lookos abosolutely stunning
I live in Oregon, USA so hiking is a part of living here. Now I want to bring my hiking backpack when I return to Japan instead of my travel backpack! Which is making me rethink all of my packing because I am a carry-on only kind of traveler.
Shoe-wise, would my Nike Pegasus trail with Goretex likely be ok? They are perfect for every day wear or keeping in the car for the random drive off hike and I don't usually wear normal hiking shoes…I guess the best way to find out is for me to pick a few hikes here with rocky inclines. 🙂 I have some Wildhorse shoes as well – I used to always hike in Frees which is of course, awful to anyone wanting any support or grip whatsoever and the amount of rocks that got stuck in them was insanity but I apparently enjoyed the challenge. I've also done hikes in tall hunter rain boots so really, I just make up my own rules! Moment of silence for my ankles.
Thanks for sharing this video! Really making me rethink future visits!
Thanks to following Chris's channel i've just discovered your channel and thrown you a sub.
Never would have believed when I woke up this morning I was going to discover the Bob Ross of mountain climbing.
Most excellent cheers.
That’s def too much volcano!
Thanks for sharing your video of this incredible looking area! Hopefully Chris will get hiking boots eventually…
It looks quite scary to me, well done to everyone!
