Google Translated Description
The person in distress entered the mountain from Ryounkaku at around 9:30 a.m. and was climbing the mountain on mountain skis at around 3:30 p.m. He was unable to go up the slope because the seals of his skis got wet and was bivouacking in a snow cave when a person concerned about the person in distress not descending requested police rescue. The Hokkaido Police Mountain Rescue Team and a Hokkaido Police helicopter found the person in distress and rescued him.
