Google Translated Description
The missing person and his companions were delayed in their descent at around 12:00pm due to the loss of one of their snowshoes, which had become buried in the snow, and as the weather deteriorated rapidly they were unable to continue, so the companions who had descended earlier called 110 via the staff at the Bōgakudai Disaster Prevention Shelter to request rescue (the Hokkaido Prefectural Police Mountain Rescue Team rescued the missing person).
