The mountain opened to traverse climbing yesterday, and many climbers began climbing from Mt.
Aka. Partly as a result, it was fairly easy to walk on the snowy gorges this morning. However, even if walking is easier, there are still many snowy gorges remaining on the Mt. Aka course, and the trail is only rarely exposed. Consequently, climbers are asked to be careful when walking on snowy gorges during dense fog and when descending.
Snowy gorge information:
Daiichi Kaen: The trail is exposed about 12 meters before the snow depth pole and sign and about 15 meters below the lookout.
Daini Kaen: The trail is completely covered with snow. There are no ropes or markings.
Daisan Sekkei: The trail is completely covered with snow. There are no ropes or markings.
Daiyon Sekkei: The trail is exposed for only about 20 meters in the upper area.
