    Tokusagamine Mountain Climbing Race participants climb up the side of Mt. Tokusagamine Aug. 26, 2012. “Naming a reason for doing this is very complicated,”
    said Peter Vergenz, race participant. “Everyone has their own reasons, maybe it stems from childhood if you were picked on too much or maybe we just want to prove to ourselves that we can do something hard, I think that’s what it comes down to. There was about 450 meters of elevation gain, that’s basically the equivalent of climbing the Kintai (mountain ) twice.”
