残雪の槍ヶ岳 視界不良。穂先鎖場に注意

The summit is experiencing light overcast with visibility under 1km due to fog. The temperature is 2.2℃, with an apparent temperature below freezing. Snow depth is 84cm. Temperatures are expected to rise to around 5℃ during the day, but poor visibility will likely persist. Ridge lines present a mix of residual snow and exposed rock. While snow softens during the day, many sections will refreeze overnight.

The chains and ladders on the Hozaki peak, in particular, will have mixed snow and icy patches. Combined with poor visibility, the risk of slipping and falling is high. Exercise extreme caution, and ensure proper use of crampons and ice axe. Be vigilant for rockfall directly below the summit. Wear waterproof and windproof shells at all times and carry extra insulation layers.

Winds remain mild throughout the day, but high humidity and low apparent temperatures increase the risk of hypothermia if wet. Plan to conclude your activities early in the day, preparing for increased precipitation probability in the evening and falling temperatures overnight.

Temperatures will drop below freezing overnight, with snow expected to begin falling by early morning. Due to continued poor visibility, avoid ambitious movements and prioritize safety above all else.
