Google Translated Description
The distressed person entered the Kiyosato course on September 5, but was too fatigued to descend, so he called 119 and bivouacked in the mountain at around 10 p.m. He sprained his leg and was unable to move while descending near Shimoni-mata at around 5 a.m. on the following day (September 6). He sprained his leg and became inoperable. A Hokkaido Police helicopter rescued the person in distress.
