The distance across the snowy gorge below the junction has shortened since the last report; however, a lot of snow still remains.
Although there are no undulations in the snow, climbers are advised to be fully prepared and to proceed carefully when ascending and descending.
The snow level has fallen at the Akaishi River and the gabions are now visible. The river can be crossed by using them.
The snowy gorge on the photograph’s left has completely dropped, so climbers should cross using the gabions, being sure to possess all of the equipment needed.
