This morning, when the low temperature fell to 6°C at Sounkyo, the puddles on the Daisetsuzan ridgeline were frozen. It was probably the first freezing of the season.
I heard that the temperature at the Hakuun hut fell to a low of 1.7°C. On the ridgeline, a cold wind that felt more like late fall or early winter than fall blew. Climbers planning to enter the mountains should be fully prepared for the cold.
According to the Hakuun hut’s caretaker, the watering place there should provide water until the end of the season.
