Area of Kurodake Ishimuro

The continuing poor weather had prevented me from seeing Ishimuro for a while, but I finally got a view of it today.
The Sorbus matsumurana leaves around Ishimuro have started to wither somewhat; however, the Sieversia pentapetala have taken on extremely dark coloring recently.
Meanwhile, coloring around the base of Mt. Ryoundake is becoming even deeper.
Climbers exclaiming delight can be heard here, too.
With the leaves coloring so gorgeously, I even saw a few climbers fall down as they rushed about trying to take photographs.
The area is mostly enveloped in dense fog again today, so climbers tend to rush about during those moments when the visibility improves. I urge everyone to watch their step as they appreciate the beauty.
