@_themostknownunknown_: In October 2019, Tetsu Shiohara, known online as “Tedzu,” attempted to climb Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji during the off-season, when official trails were closed due to dangerous snow and ice. He livestreamed his ascent, describing the freezing temperatures, icy terrain, and repeatedly mentioning that he had lost feeling in his fingers as he continued toward the summit. During the broadcast, viewers suddenly watched him lose his footing on a steep, snow-covered slope. The camera lurched violently as his trekking poles flew from his hands. He could be heard saying, “I’m slipping,” before the stream froze on a view of snow and rocks. The broadcast ended moments later, leading concerned viewers to contact emergency services. Rescue teams began searching the mountain the following day. Two days later, authorities recovered the body of a man believed to be Shiohara at an elevation of approximately 3,000 meters (9,800 feet). Police later confirmed his identity. His death sparked widespread discussion about the risks of attempting a solo ascent of Mount Fuji during the closed climbing season. Many pointed to the extreme conditions, the lack of appropriate winter mountaineering equipment, and the additional pressure of livestreaming the climb. Others saw the tragedy as a reminder that even experienced hikers can underestimate the dangers of severe alpine environments. The livestream remains one of the most widely discussed mountaineering incidents on the internet, serving as a sobering example of how quickly conditions on Mount Fuji can become fatal outside the official climbing season.
