Mt. Aka course snowy gorge report

On the Mt. Aka course trail, a snowy gorge of some 32 meters remains in the upper area of Daisan Sekkei. While the distance to be traveled over it has shortened, the surface has become firmly packed. Care is required when ascending and descending. At Daini Kaen, a snowy gorge of roughly 67 meters remains. However, a rope is firmly in place and the grade is not as steep as at Daisan Sekkei, so it should not present a major problem to climbers.
The snowy gorges that remained on the trail at Daiyon Sekkei and Daiichi Kaen have almost completely disappeared as a result of the recent heavy rain.
