Since the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is not moving from December to mid-April, if you try to climb Mt. Tsurugidake at this time, it will take days to walk to Tateyama Murodo and aim for Mt. Tsurugidake from there. It is not realistic in terms of reality, and in general, I think that you will aim for Mt. Tsurugidake from the trailhead of Babajima using the Hayatsuki ridge.

I have walked this early moon ridge during the summer mountain season, but except for the front of the mountaintop, the rocky areas are not as continuous as the Bessan ridge, but the distance is long and there is a difference in elevation, so it is necessary to have the physical strength to walk reliably.Even in winter mountain climbing, it is one of the most difficult routes for advanced mountaineers.

Since two of the three parties were rescued, it seems that the search is proceeding by narrowing down the sliding points to some extent, but today is the third day after the accident, and it is discovered and rescued as soon as possible. I just hope. (Original article distributor: Kitanippon Shimbun)
