Google Translated Description
The climber was descending the waterfall (commonly known as “F1”) using a rope and a descent device at around 10:00 am when he fell and became trapped underwater, so his companions called 110 to request rescue (the Hokkaido Prefectural Police helicopter rescued the climber).
