This mountain trip made us think about possible lost distresses.
I would like to write about that first.
It is in the middle of the mountain on the Takahata valley route.
There is a water place on the way from the ridge to the valley.
After passing the water, the valley will be on the left side of the mountain trail when descending the mountain.
I saw a person rolling down from a ridge (a fairly steep slope) over the valley.
The direction of fall is the same as the direction we are heading, but we cannot see beyond it.
It is not in a state of sliding down, but in a state of rolling down and sliding down.
Fortunately, we'll stay right away and be in a position we can see.
We were also confused and didn't understand why there were people there.
At first, I wondered if I was doing route fighting.
However, the situation of rolling down is unusual.
In such a situation, you can't understand it right away.
For the time being, I shouted, "Are you okay?"
Then, he replied, "I got lost and came to such a place."
Fortunately, I can move without any injuries.
I told him that the mountain trail was on this side and asked about the situation on the other side.
Then the lower side can no longer go down on the cliff.
Even if you look at the top, it is a tough slope to climb.
After waiting for a while, we also went down the mountain and were able to come to a position relatively close to the other party.
Looking at the positional relationship with the mountain trail, it seems that you can come to this side.
However, the slopes are steep and there is a danger of coming to this side.
I thought about rescue, but he said he would head to this side after seeing the slope.
We watched while calling out which area we should go through.
However, the other person seemed to be quite scared, and his foot was weakened.
I'm traversing while I'm about to slip down many times.
We also continue to be nervous.
I managed to get to a place where it was okay, but the other person was too nervous to feel at his feet.
I think it was pretty scary.
Looking at the equipment, it looks like a solid mountain climber.
At first, I was thinking of climbing in the Katra Valley, but it was closed to traffic and I suddenly climbed in the Takahata Valley.
It seems that there was a blank for the first time in a year and a half.
It seems that the schedule change and overconfidence were the cause of this loss.
He thanked us and climbed again.
I think you have successfully climbed and descended.
Even though we understand that distress can happen to us due to loss or accident, I think we are optimistic somewhere.
I don't feel like saying "why" or "why" to those who get lost.
This time, I climbed Mt. Kongo with the intention of enjoying it, but I made a mistake.
I think I did my best to climb in order to live even if I got lost.
It's been a long time, but I had such an experience.
The Tsutsugio Valley, which I climbed, is also a popular route on Mt. Kongo.
However, there are many accidents on this route as well, and some people have slipped to death.
Mt. Kongo is a mountain that beginners and veterans can enjoy.
Therefore, it seems that beginners often mistakenly enter difficult routes.
In fact, the variation route of Mt. Kongo has many dangerous points and no information board, so it is much more difficult than a normal mountain trail.
However, such a road can be a fun one if you walk carefully.
The Tsutsugio Valley route was also a mountain trail where you can enjoy icefalls and adventures.
