It's about to see the sunrise.
Battery is dying, after I finished taking this moment,
I may use digital camera as substitute afterwards.
The camera is not suited for video due to power consumption...
It's better for photo, but who cares about it.
The sun is actually rising now.
Might be better to stay a bit away from the top...
This is how it's like here.
Number of people who reached before the sunrise is,
including guys came here earlier and descended already,
probably about 100 or so.
As mentioned yesterday, I see no Japanese.
It's very cold, to be honest.
Not with gloves now in order to operate the camera.
This is not what you're supposed to do here.
Just realized, it could be much more dangerous to descend than to climb.
Climbed feverishly, so didn't really notice this.
Especially some 800m from the summit is quite steep.
You have to climb along a rope, physically very demanding.
Also the rope is wet and super-cold thanks to recent rains.
Tried not to use the rope as much as possible.
Will try to take video on that if I have enough energy.
Again, descending must be as difficult as climbing.
Cannot see by video, it's very bleak,
and everyone here is in "Climber's High" mode,
can make any careless mistakes, that's my concern.
The sun is already there.
Leaving soon, it's cold, no point to stay too long.
Managed to take quite OK video clip, I believe.
That's it. Descending now.
