剱岳岩稜濡れ視界不良。滑落に警戒

Current conditions at Mt. Tsurugi summit show partly cloudy skies with a felt temperature of 5.3℃. The temperature difference from the base is 5.5℃. The forecast indicates a transition from partly cloudy to light drizzle, then light rain by afternoon. Precipitation probability exceeds 90% from noon to 3 PM, making the exposed rock ridges extremely slippery. The risk of falls significantly increases, especially on specific challenging sections like Kani-no-Tatebai and Kani-no-Yokobai, which are characteristic of Mt. Tsurugi's technical rock scrambling. Extreme caution is paramount on these routes. Visibility is currently 5.6km but may further deteriorate with the onset of rain.

Felt temperatures will hover around 5℃ throughout the day. Getting wet from the rain will amplify the cold, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Essential layering includes a wicking base layer, a fleece mid-layer, and a waterproof-breathable outer shell (jacket and pants). Waterproof gloves and a warm hat are also critical. While there is no snow, making crampons unnecessary, a helmet is mandatory due to the high risk of rockfall and potential slips.

Winds will remain light all day, but even a slight gust can compromise balance on wet rock. Although the risk of thunderstorms is low, be prepared for sudden weather changes. Precipitation is expected to subside by late afternoon and evening, with clear skies forecasted for early tomorrow morning. However, for today's daytime ascent, avoid pushing limits and consider turning back early if conditions become too hazardous.
