Mt.Asahidake (Mt.Asahi) 14

Temperature: minus 20 degrees Celsius at the Asahidake Hot Springs (Asahidake Onsen)

It was supposed to do training at the Mt.Tokachidake. However, the route to the Mt.Tokachidake was closed due to the snow storm caused by a depression of 950hPa. Many other routes that we use for training were closed this day. It was colder than expected up there. The half of the lenses of goggles were frozen during the descent and he felt cold. He should have worn warmer.
