Soon after he became Professor, he also became the President of the Kyoto University Alpine Club (1961). The first plan that he scheduled was to conquer an unclimbed summit in the Himalayas. Whoever an alpinist might be, he wants to try once to climb Mt. Everest, and that was Ono-dera s dream from his youth. He went to the Himalayas as a leader with six members of the club, and was successful in conquering Indrasan and Deo Tibba. The results were published in the Himalayan Journal, 24 (1963) 90-95, entitled The Ascent of Indrasan and Deo Tibba, by Ono-dera. The expedition organized and sent made the first ascent of Indrasan (6,221 meters) on October 13, 1962. The party also climbed Deo Tibba (6,000 meters). Onodera stayed in the base camp, encouraged the members, and advised them to move carefully. This great achievement had an important effect not only on young students, including members of his Institute, but also on all Japanese youth, especially alpinists. Also in 1967, Onodera went on another expedition, to India and Bhutan, but, unfortunately, this time he was not successful, as he could not get permission to ascend a peak from Bhutan.
