Mr.Kataoka and K

We climbed up to the altitude 1100m talking together but at this altitude, K began to ride seriously.

When reching the altitude of 1200m, the snow appeared on the road although it's already May. A car which couldn't climb up because its tires were spinning because of snow has completely blocked the road at the altitude of 1250m falling back. K had to stop to avoid this car.

However, K arrived first at the Mt.Tokachidake Hot Springs of which the altitude is 1280m.
