Information about Mt.Kurodake
Snow melting is keep going, but Mt.Kurodake has much snow.
When you climb, you must be careful.
Last weekend patrol stuff removed snow from trail.
The trail condition became much better.
But there is still snow left.
Some part of trail has no snow, but you must be careful not to fall down and not to fall through under the snow. (There is big space under the snow.)
As snow is melting, blanch and bamboo grass start to stand up.
It’s very difficult to climb.
By location, trail will be “muddy ponds” or be in the water like walking in the river.

About flower blooming
On the northwest slope same type flower is blooming as last report.
We were not able to find new type of flower.
From the summit to Ishimuto hut we found 7 types of flowers blooming when the last report.
Now most of them have fallen because of low temperature.

Around Kumonotaira
Snow is left in front of Ohachidaira and under the Mt.Hokuchin junction.
Snow under the Mt.hokuchin junction is very undulating trail as usual.
Be careful to climb down.

You must be careful not to fall down and not to be lost in foggy.
In particular Daisan sekkei and Daiyon sekkei you have to climb on the snow straight to the top. This route is steep slope.
Be careful to climb up and down.

Information about Mt.Kurodake
Seeing from the 5th station of Mt.Kurodake, at first I thought snow was melting.
But I tried climbing Mt.Kurodake, there was much snow.
From the beginning to the 8th station the trail is all snow.
After that some part of trail has no snow, but sometimes the trail much snow.
On the top of 9th station and just beneath the summit there is much snow.
When you climb up to Mt,Kurodake and climb down, you must be careful not to fall down and not to fall through under the snow.(because there is big space under the snow.)
And when it’s foggy, you must be careful, too.
In the morning and night snow surface will freeze and become hard.
When the wind is blowing hard, the temperature on the top is very low, freezing.
When you are moving, you may not feel cold.
You need something warm to wear.
You need full equipment to climb, and take your time and walk safely.
