御嶽神社頂上奥社(王滝奥社)

It was damaged by the eruption and is off limits.

I think most people who come here are wearing helmets. After climbing, you should wipe your head with a towel. Hair that gets wet with gas or sweat gets cold at once. Be careful of the cold even in summer.

In the snowless season, healthy people can climb with the minimum equipment. After driving for about 4 hours, I took about 20 minutes from Kurosawaguchi to do equipment and preparatory exercises and started climbing. ·Headlight ·safety shoes ・ Change of clothes ・ Three sweet buns and one jelly drink as action foods ・ Two drinks, 1.5 liters and 500 ml ・ No Kongo cane or stock ・ A flashlight is also available separately. Even on 9/11, the mountains at 3 am were cold, so Upper body under armor, thin long sleeves, raincoat Lower body underwear, under armor, shorts, raincoat Approximately 3 upper and lower equipment 3:08 ~ Start climbing The temperature was around 15 degrees Celsius, but the humidity was high right after the start of the climb, and it was hot and mushy, so I took off the under armor and the raincoat 30 minutes after the start. One thin long sleeve on the upper body, leaving the lower body as it is. 3:44 7th station From the beginning of the mountain climbing, I just climbed the stairs through the tall trees, and there was no wind and I couldn't see many stars with the headlights. Even if you turn off the headlights and climb, the moonlight does not come in, so it is dangerous. Just climb silently 4:22 8th station From the middle of the 8th station, I entered the forest limit and there was nothing to block the wind, and the sultry heat I had felt until now disappeared. If you stop your feet, your sweat will get cold and it will get cold all at once. It's a little hot when it starts to move. The altitude was high, and fatigue and suffocation (did oxygen become thin?) Made my gait slow. I couldn't find the bench in the mountain lodge at night and climbed without a break I took a rest in the rocky area with the big Buddha statue in the photo and changed my clothes there. I wore thin long sleeves (new) and a raincoat, and ate a jelly drink and a sweet bun. It was supposed to be sunrise around 5:20, but unfortunately I couldn't see it in the clouds. 5:28 9th station 6:15 Mountain peak The mountaintop shrine is open until around September 2nd every year, and unfortunately it was closed during this climb. The mountaintop is also windy because there is almost nothing blocking the shrine. 6:38 Start descending From the top of the mountain to the 7th station, I passed many people who would have climbed by ropeway. There were only two groups from the 7th station to the parking lot. 8:46 Arrive at Kurosawaguchi The 3,000 ㍍ class had only climbed Mt. Fuji (Gotemba Exit), but it was a completely different type of mountain. Except for the rocky areas, most of them were maintained by stairs, but it was easy to climb. I couldn't get rid of my calf muscle pain for 3 days after climbing.
