1. I think he was Japanese. He should have booked to stay in a hut. He started climbing at 6 am and reached the summit at 5 pm. It’s going to get dark before he comes back down. Should have started going down around 3 pm.

   If he came by a bus, there would have been no bus by the time he reached back to the 5th station.

   Sad that he died but have to say his schedule was very reckless.

2. That’s a veeeery long time he was climbing… starting at the 5th station from 6am you would normally reach the summit before midday at least, at a slow pace. Likely he had some underlying health condition.
