At around 5:30 p.m., the victim was descending near the Asahidake Stone Chamber when he became unsure of the direction of descent due to whiteout conditions, and an acquaintance requested rescue from the Asahikawa Higashi Police Station on his behalf (the Hokkaido Prefectural Police Mountain Rescue Team rescued the victim).
