Mt.Iwaonupri in June !

by Kazu

We walked up the stairs from the entrance of the trail to the peak of the mountain. But the trail on the upper hillside was covered with snow.  So we could not find the appropriate route to the peak. 

The surface of the hillside was slippery and the snow was deeper on the upper side. We had to give up to reach the peak. 

We had the attachment to avoid to slip but even in June, we have to prepare enough for winter trekking in Hokkaido. Please be careful when you plan to climb the mountains in Hokkaido in June.
