Kiritachi Pass 3

Temperature: minus 11 degrees Celsius at the Kiritachi Pass

K participated after the training at the Etanbetsu Pass. Cairn and K was climbing talking together. Passing the last snow shelter, K accelerated. Cairn tried to keep up the tempo K had set up. But Cairn couldn’t keep up the tempo. K won the summit. We climbed again from the other side (Tomamae Side) without any battle. K was faster on the descent. We descended regrouping several times to the Horokanai side.
