The National Parks Authority of the United States announced on the 18th that a Japanese man climbing a mountain in a national park in Alaska is believed to have died after slipping into a crevasse, a glacier crevice.
According to the National Parks Bureau of the United States, on the 17th, a 43-year-old Japanese man who was visiting a mountain climber from Kanagawa Prefecture slipped into Klebas at a mountain hunter in Denali National Park, Alaska.
According to the person who was climbing with him, when the man was climbing around 2400 meters above sea level, the ice at his feet broke and the rope connected to his teammate came off and fell into a crevasse. ..
When a staff member of the National Park Bureau who rushed to the rescue checked the situation at the site, it seems that the man died due to a large amount of snow falling on the crevasse and the depth of the crevasse.
The hunter the man was climbing was the third highest mountain in the Alaska Range and is known as one of the most difficult mountains to climb in the United States due to its steep slopes and complex structure. I will investigate again whether the search is possible.
