The series ran for one season with each episode being approximately 5 minutes long. A second season of the anime aired in July 2014 for a total of 24 episodes, each approximately 12 minutes long.

Here is a synopsis from MAL:

Aoi prefers indoor hobbies and is afraid of heights, but her childhood friend Hinata loves to show off her passion for mountain climbing. As young children they once watched the sunrise from the top of a mountain, and now they’ve decided to take up mountain climbing in hopes of seeing that sunrise again. They have cooking battles with mountaineering gear, climb small hills in their neighborhood, and meet new mountaineering friends as they learn the ropes of the hobby. When will they finally see that sunrise again?
