鎖場は濡れて滑りやすい。突風に注意し慎重な登高を

Current conditions at Ishizuchi Summit are partly cloudy with a temperature of 6.1°C, feeling like 3.4°C. A temperature difference of approximately 4°C exists between the summit and the base. Light drizzle is expected during the day, maintaining wet conditions on the chains and rocky sections near the summit. Gusts could reach up to 21.1 m/s around noon, posing a significant risk of losing balance, especially on exposed ridges towards Misen and Tengudake.

Falls are frequent on the chains. When ascending the sacred paths of Ichinokusa, Ninokusa, and Sannokusa, carefully consider the impact of wet footing and strong winds. If you lack confidence, do not hesitate to use the bypass routes. As indicated by the automated risk assessment, a temperature drop of 6°C is anticipated during the forecast period, elevating the risk of hypothermia. A quick-drying base layer, a mid-layer like fleece, and a windproof waterproof outer shell are essential. Carry an additional insulating layer, such as a thin down jacket, for breaks.

Essential gear includes a separate waterproof jacket and pants, waterproof gloves, and a warm hat. A helmet, sling, and carabiners for basic self-belay are also advisable. There is no snow, so crampons or microspikes are not needed. Although the weather will clear after sunset, temperatures will drop to around 1°C. Given the day's strong winds and potential for wet clothing, it is recommended to complete your activities during daylight hours and avoid night travel.
