I like to thank my friend Geir Åke Dahlen and my son Pål Jørgen for excellent
company on this trip.
In particular, Pål carried our common backpack to all summits, just like I
did when hiking with him 15 years ago.
Note that the two peaks Ontake and Daisen that we could not do in 2016, were climbed in 2019.
