AISubs v3.7
One by one, members travel around the world every month and try to take wonderful photos.
They collect them and aim for the completion of the calendar in 2020.
One by one calendar project.
The first one is...
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoy it.
Her younger sister is Shinshun Kozan.
The first calendar project is...
Yes.
It's in Venezuela, Giana Coche.
It's Roraima.
Roraima!
It's located in Giana Coche, South America.
It's the world's largest table mountain.
Its altitude is 2810 meters.
It's not difficult to climb.
It's a perfect view for a calendar project.
Giana Coche, huh? I've been there once.
You like Giana Coche, don't you?
I love it there. You know it, right?
I always fight with Giana Coche when I go there.
I'm sorry.
Actually, six years ago...
Anyway, I'm a helicopter kid.
When we went to shoot "Angels Fall,"
the weather was bad and we couldn't pick up the helicopter.
We didn't have a tent or food, but we were made to stay at the top.
I'll be really angry.
But...
I know, but...
Then don't bring us with you.
But it's raining.
It's rainwater, rainwater.
Don't be so angry.
I'm serious. I'm serious.
Will it be okay?
I'm a little scared of Giana Coche.
Today's mission is...
to climb Mt. Noraima and climb a rock near the top.
And we'll shoot a powerful scene like you're watching now.
It's a first for me.
I'm getting excited.
I'll show you a good video.
I'll do my best.
What kind of calendar will it be?
Climbing Mt. Noraima near the top.
A new hunter, Imoto.
A calendar project.
After riding a Cessna and a helicopter,
Imoto leaves Japan and arrives in Karaitepi, a village in Giana Coche,
40 hours later.
Somehow, I feel sick.
Are you okay?
I'm in trouble.
Imoto returns to his cabin as soon as he arrives.
He's been catching a cold for a few days now.
Today's mountain climbing guide is Imoto.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for having me.
It's been a while, Imoto.
Imoto is guided by Kuraoka Hiroyuki.
He's been climbing Mount Everest nine times.
He's the strongest guide with the highest Japanese record.
Awesome!
Wow, it's huge! What is it?
The one on the right, the higher one, is Roraima.
That is Roraima Mountain, the stage for the calendar shooting.
The height is 2810 meters.
It's huge and it doesn't feel like a mountain at all.
It's a mountain with only cliffs and no climbing routes.
Is that so?
There is a place where you can walk up and climb with the weak point inside the cliff.
A mountain where you can climb with the weak point inside the cliff?
I don't understand it at all.
This climbing trip is a one-night-two-day short-term collaboration.
Tomorrow, they will enter a base camp with an elevation of 1870 meters by helicopter.
From there, they will climb up the steep climbing route which is 940 meters high and made diagonally for 5 hours.
Then, they will go up to the climbing point which is on top of the table mountain.
They will climb up the cliff which is like a curtain and do the calendar shooting.
Then, they will stay in a tent for one night and climb up the steep climbing route the next day.
We will do it all at once.
That's enough.
We don't know when the weather will change.
That's right, but isn't it too sudden?
I don't think it will rain even once.
We will move and move and move.
In preparation for tomorrow's trial, they want to take a rest today.
However, this lodge doesn't have electricity and there is no hot water.
It's no good at all.
It's better not to wash the wall. The wind is getting worse.
However, that night, this snow at the lodge becomes suspicious.
It's windy.
It's windy, isn't it?
I'm sorry that it's only that.
What should we do?
I think it will be dark at night.
The bad luck continues.
According to the latest weather forecast, it will be sunny only in the morning of tomorrow while we are staying.
Even if we try to shoot the calendar on the cliff, it will probably be white and we won't be able to see anything.
They urgently change their plan.
While it's sunny in the morning, we will go to the top of the cliff and shoot climbing.
Walking is not an option.
The calendar is our top priority.
Climbing up a mountain trail is a waste of time.
Climbing up a cliff is a must.
The next morning at 5 a.m.,
there's a forecast, it's sunny, and there's a battle in the morning.
My sister's cold didn't get worse thanks to the medicine.
She gets on the helicopter in a hurry.
She lands in Giana Kochi.
It's really cowardly.
It's the only cowardly thing on earth.
The last cowardly thing on earth, Giana Kochi.
The rejuvenated jungle and rocks are three times as wide as Japan.
It's 979 meters below sea level.
It's the world's largest waterfall, Angel Falls.
The so-called "table mountain".
There are more than 100 of them.
Among them, there is one that speaks for itself and dominates.
Climbing 5,810 people, Murai Masa.
It's like a battle has broken out in the middle of the jungle.
The "table mountain" is a rock that stood still 200 million years ago.
The rock was cut down and left behind in the rain and wind.
There's nowhere to climb.
Where can I climb?
It's going to collapse.
It's about 3 meters in length and more than 10 kilometers in width.
It's a huge table that rides on a scale that doesn't exist.
From its silhouette, Murai Masa is said to be a military officer floating on land.
Oh, no!
Finding a relatively flat place and landing.
Creating a base camp here.
If you put up a tent here, it's a nice place for today.
Oh, you can move the helicopter from here.
Climbing a cliff for calendar shooting and heading for the climbing point.
It's fast.
Starting with Murai Masa, the Guiana Plateau is called "the closest to the earth's oldest".
The earth changes its position and repeats splitting and merging,
but the Guiana Plateau was said to be at the center of this split and merging,
and neither split nor merge.
Therefore, it is said that the earth as it was 20 billion years ago still exists.
Wow!
Landing near the climbing point.
Oh, no! It's cloudy.
I'm scared.
Is it okay here, Masa?
As Kiri went to pick up other staff,
her sister is worried about her.
I'm doing the same thing.
I thought I'd never learn it.
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
Let's go home now.
No, seriously, let's go home.
No, seriously, I think it's really high.
However, the helicopter turning in the sky doesn't come down at all.
It seems like it landed somewhere else.
It wants to merge, but it's dangerous to move in this sky.
Is there a road?
Actually, there is a cliff between the helicopter and the cliff.
I see.
Oh, it's started.
In a world isolated from the world, it became even more isolated.
What should we do? There's no water again.
Food and luggage were supposed to come in the second car.
We only have a local guide, a cameraman, and D. Ishizaki with us now.
I really want you to let me go.
Shall we eat somewhere?
Do you have a place?
No, no, no, no!
I can't do it now!
What?
This is the worst!
Letting me go like this!
Are you dizzy?
I'm really dizzy!
I can't do it!
Let me go!
What? This is mine!
That's right, but...
This is mine!
No, wait a minute!
What's wrong with you guys?
No, just leave me alone!
The only thing she had in her pocket was a sharp knife.
It's like love.
What if...
I'll strengthen my head with this.
I'll get my head out.
It's like love.
The main force has come to pick me up.
If I go with them, I can interact with everyone.
It's not just a cold road.
There are sharp rocks everywhere.
There's a crevasse, too.
This will take some time.
Oh, this is dangerous.
Ouch!
Oh, there's quite a lot of scratches.
Gradually, my sister's irritation piles up.
I'm here.
And finally, she's able to interact with everyone.
I'm here.
Let's go!
It's the first time for her sister in 2019.
But this is no good!
It was wrong of me to get off there.
Absolutely.
But you came back, right?
Yes, but it was too late for me to make that decision.
We didn't have any luggage, and we were left behind there.
So it was too late for me to make that decision.
Even if it wasn't good, I should have written it down.
The pilot takes all the necessary steps.
Why is it taking so long?
I don't know why, but 57-year-old Hiroyuki Kuraoka has returned to trial.
On the other hand, the climbing point is as you can see.
I don't think I can do it.
It's dangerous.
If you step on it, it will disappear 800 meters away.
Yes, even without clouds, your feet are 800 meters away.
I wanted to set a calendar here, but it's not possible in today's condition.
I can't do anything with this visibility.
Let's go to another climbing point.
It's an hour's walk from there.
It's getting pretty sunny. The sun is out.
It's really easy to change.
The weather changes every ten minutes.
Finally, we can see the challenge stage.
This is Roraima's highest point.
This is the peak.
You reach this weak point and climb up there to reach the top.
This is the world's largest table mountain, Roraima no Itadaki.
Its silhouette is another table mountain above the table mountain.
You climb this step and aim for the top.
You take a calendar photo.
Is it difficult?
Yes.
No one has climbed it yet.
It's difficult, but if you want to do it, you can do it.
I haven't done climbing.
The height of the cliff is about 30 meters.
If you misunderstand it, there is also a climbing route.
Climbing is probably the first time for humans to find a route that seems to be climbed.
I have no choice but to go.
Since the weather is changing, I have no choice but to do it now.
The weather changes every 10 minutes.
I want to climb while I can.
When I came here, my sister's feelings suddenly spilled out.
Can you do it?
What's wrong with you?
Don't you think you can climb it?
My body is a little tired, but it's okay.
Every time it happens, the wind turns red.
Safety is a far-fetched condition.
Can I quit?
But it's my first time.
It's my first time doing a new and new special in 2019.
I can't change it.
You may be able to change it, but it's a result.
That's right.
If you can't climb it, you don't have to climb it.
No, I can't come all the way here and explain the route and say I'm going up here.
Maybe it's no good. I can only concentrate.
At this location, I'm probably thinking about a lot of things.
That's right. Right now, in her head, she's worried about the wind, fear of the cliff, and the pressure of her first year of youth.
She has a lot of thoughts in her head.
But her biggest worry was something unexpected.
I want to focus only on what's in front of me and make a good calendar.
And around here, in my head, I'm thinking of... a rocket waiting for me.
You've changed a lot since you came back.
There's a lot.
Since I came back, there's been a rocket waiting for me since 5 in the morning.
The result is like this.
It's like this.
Her biggest worry is the early morning result.
To be honest, I'm the only one who knows about it.
There was a city rocket waiting for me in Niigata.
That's where the wind blew.
That's why I came here.
That's how it happened.
Since I came back, there's been another city rocket waiting for me.
But if you tell your sister about the city rocket down there, she'll think you were blown away by it.
I'll tell her.
From her head, she's shaking off her fear of the cliff.
Alright! Cover!
And from that person, she's gaining courage.
I remembered the words you gave me.
You're not here anymore this year.
Well, you're still here.
Well, then...
I'm Ria.
I haven't climbed it yet, so I hope you watch it carefully.
I'm sure you're on the same line as me.
Ria, you should remember it, too.
First of all, Kuraoka goes first.
He checks the route and the scaffolding.
Normal climbing shoes don't allow him to climb steep slopes,
so he changes to climbing shoes.
Will it work?
It's about 30 meters high,
but Kuraoka, who went first, says it's a cliff for advanced climbers.
I'd like to go and take a calendar photo now.
Go for it!
It's finally climbing time!
Wow!
Is it okay now?
The rock is fragile and easy to collapse.
What's more, it's wet in the rain and moss is growing.
Oh, I'm scared.
Even in spring, if you don't pay attention, you'll slip and fall.
Oh, my God!
Ouch! I bit my hand.
Even in Matterhorn and Eiger, there weren't any cliffs as steep and difficult as this one.
Go for it!
It's wet here, isn't it?
No, I can't go.
It's cool and steep.
It's good, it's good.
With a few centimeters of special footwork,
and all kinds of climbing techniques,
Kuraoka is going for it!
Will I be able to do it?
Get on your left foot.
Good, good, good!
Kikka completely forgot about the construction and focused on the rock in front of him.
That's right. I have no choice but to concentrate.
OK, OK!
The highest point of Noraimo is 20 meters away.
Wow!
Clouds. It's a little bit, but it's getting lighter.
A chance to shoot a calendar!
OK, take it!
I'm taking it with my iPhone for now.
iPhone? iPhone?
OK, OK! Take it!
We couldn't say anything in that situation,
but it was completely different from the picture we wanted to take.
Therefore, we rejected it!
Nevertheless, we arrived at Noraimo's closest location.
Boss!
Noraimo's summit!
Wow! Amazing, amazing!
This is the real peak of 2810 meters.
This is Noraimo's summit, the highest point of the river.
Lost World, which has been neglected for two billion years
due to a cliff about 1000 meters high.
Most of the year is covered with clouds and fog.
Noraimo received a miracle.
Wow! Amazing!
It's like heaven here. There are clouds in the north.
But it's a little scary.
It doesn't feel like people or creatures at all.
By the way, they prepared another calendar idea.
That's right!
Driving on the table!
Table cross ski!
Although there is little hope of success,
A.D.'s Saito, who has worked so hard to bring it all the way here,
says "please do it for me",
so he tries it out!
What is this?
Isn't there a bag?
Let's do it as a commemoration.
One, two...
Ah! I'm sorry!
Without saying it, this is also a failure!
And the unexpected situation continued even after that.
A helicopter comes to pick us up and we pitch our tents at the top of the mountain.
And the next morning...
From here, it will be about 6 hours of climbing and descending.
I wanted to leave it in the room, but since it's like this...
It's impossible, isn't it?
I won't use it, but I'll walk with it.
Use it!
Anyway, yesterday evening...
It was just before sunset, but it's sunset now.
I'm glad I climbed up.
Before you climbed up, did you see Amuro-chan and get a reward like this?
After all, Amuro-san has retired,
and in society, words like "Amuro-san lost" and "Amuro lost" are popular.
Little sister's little story - the moment she felt "Amuro lost".
Many people asked me "Amuro lost?" "Amuro lost?"
But to be honest, I didn't know what "lost" meant.
The other day, around the end of November, I went to Paul Mccartney's concert.
And the moment Paul-san came out, everyone was screaming "Paul! Paul!" with all their might.
And at that moment, I was like "Huh? I can't do this anymore!"
And all of a sudden, "Amuro-san lost" happened in me.
That's when I realized it for the first time.
It was at the end of my life.
And now I'm at that moment of loss.
And when I looked at my iPhone and realized how painful it was,
I realized again and again that there is a heaviness in me.
- Did you get that power? - Yes, I did.
And you know what? You're rude to Paul Mccartney.
Do you think you're Amuro-chan like Paul?
- So, Paul-san... Paul's fans... - Yoh-san...
Do you want to do something with me?
You're always in such a good place. It's like a cut-in club.
That's all for this week's "Calendar Project".
