Some of Japan's famous boulder problems can be found in the Mitake area.[1] On boulders such as "Ninja Rock" and "Deadend"
The rock consists of limestone[2]/ chert. With boulders between a few feet till 20 feet tall.[3] The boulders are graded according to the Japanese Dankyu grading system.[4] With problems ranging between Fb3 and Fb8B.
In 2001 Dai Koyamada made the first ascent of Kanimushi 8B,[5] the hardest problem in Mitake.
Mitake is easily accessed by train from Tokyo.[6] Taking the Ome line from Tachikawa station to Mitake Station (Tokyo)
