快晴無風の稜線。日差しに油断せず防寒を

Mount Kisokoma summit is experiencing clear skies with excellent visibility exceeding 20km. As of 8:15 AM, the summit temperature is 6.4°C, feeling like 3.6°C. There is an 8.1°C difference from the base, highlighting the significant temperature drop with altitude. While the temperature is expected to rise to 9.9°C by midday, single-digit temperatures at 3,000m pose a constant risk of hypothermia.

There is no snow cover and no precipitation is forecasted, indicating generally dry, exposed rocky terrain on the trails. The route from Senjojiki Cirque up Haccho-zaka is passable without snow. However, the steep Haccho-zaka slope contains many loose rocks and pebbles, requiring careful foot placement to prevent slips and falls. For those planning a traverse to Mount Hoken, extreme caution is advised on the rocky ridges due to the risk of falls and rockfall.

For cold weather protection, a moisture-wicking base layer, a mid-layer such as fleece or light down, and a windproof and waterproof outer shell are essential. Gloves and a hat should also be carried and worn actively during breaks or in exposed areas to maintain body temperature. Gusts up to 11m/s are anticipated around noon, which will contribute to a lower perceived temperature on exposed ridges. Clouds are expected to move in during the evening, with temperatures dropping to around 4°C. Night travel should be avoided.
