Title: 17th Climb Falling Accident

Page 145:
Fukumoto: Yumi-chan slipped down the mountain...!!?
Oonishi: We don't know that for sure yet.
He just said it was possible she had an accident.
I'll climb the central ridge.
Fukumoto, you take the tools and climb the hiking course!!
Fukumoto: R-Right.
Oonishi: Mori, you wait here on standby!!
And no matter what, don't start acting on your own!!
Let's go!!
SFX: Zah
Mori: ......

Page 147:
Mori: Eh... Ah...
Sh-Shirai...!?
SFX: ZUZUH
Mori: !!!
SFX: Para para para
Mori: This is dangerous...
In that state, she'll slide down!!!

Mori: Maybe I can make it!

Cameraman: ...Hu~~~ This is such a yawn.
Nothing but scenery pictures...

Guy: Yeah, that's how it is.
うちみたいな大衆誌にも癒しのページが必要だっつー編集長の意向なんだ
It's the editor-in-chief's idea that even in a popular magazine like ours you need soothing pages.
Anyhow, mountains sure are nice, aren't they?
I came here to Futago Mountain plenty of times in my college mountaineering club, too.
Cameraman: Yeah yeah~~
Knowing you, Kurosawa-san, you just made plays on women in the tents, right?
Kurosawa: Bingo [heart]
SFX: Pasha
Cameraman: Oh!
Someone's climbing!!
Kurosawa: Heeeh?
I'm sure there wasn't any route like that 20 years ago...
!!

Page 151:
Kurosawa: That guy doesn't have a rope attached to him!!
He's free-soloing, ain't he!!?
Hey, Takeda. Take photos from a distance.
We can use these shots!!
Takeda: R-Right.
Kurosawa: Is he just some reckless idiot?
Or is it he's an established climber going on a kamikaze attack?
Can't you check his face?
Takeda: Hang on, that much is...
Kurosawa: !!!

Page 152:
Kurosawa: Th-That guy...
he went onto an overhang...!!!
We found him, so don't take your eyes off him. He might fall!!
Takeda: No matter what you say, that much...
I'd just think it was impossible and just go back.
SFX: Pasha pasha
Kurosawa: You idiot! You can't go back on an overhang!!! [Note italics]
Takeda: Huh!?
垂直の壁でも降りる時は足の推進力が使えないぶんかなり難しい
Kurosawa: Even on a vertical wall, when you're going down you can't use your legs for propulsion, so it's much much harder...
傾斜したハングの場合さらに腕の負担が大きすぎて耐えられず降りる事はほぼ不可能
With slanted hangs, there's an even bigger unendurable burden on your arms, so going down is pretty much impossible.
Takeda: Th... Then you mean...

Page 153:
Kurosawa: Once he runs out of strength,
without a doubt, he'll fall!!
Takeda: T-That's a big scoop...
Mori: Kuh...
Kuku...
SFX: Gugu...
指先に大量がかかって
Mori: Shit... My body weight's putting a lot more on my fingertips than I thought.
I can't move up the next hand...!!!

Page 154:
身体が岩から
Mori: My body feels like
Kuh...
ひきはがされる
it's being ripped away from the rock...!!!
SFX: Buru buruburu
Mori: !!!
SFX: Zuruh
Kurosawa: He fell...!!!
SFX: ZAZAZA
SFX: Za
Mori: UWAaAA!!!

Page 155:
SFX: ZASHUUU
Mori: !!?
SFX: GAKUN
Kurosawa: !!!
SFX: Kara karara

Page 156:
SFX: Zari...
Mori: I... I stopped...!!!
Kurosawa: H-He went with a hand jam...!!!
Takeda: Ha... Hand jam...!?
差し込み楔
Kurosawa: He put his hand in the rock to act as a wedge to support his body. It's a climbing technique.
If you really go for it, you can release the burden on your arms and can rest.
Mori: My body's light...
SFX: GAH
Mori: It's so strange...
It feels like my arm is completely connected to the rock.

Page 157:
Mori: It's like the rock and I...
became one.
I don't feel like I'll fall anymore...
I can do it!!!

Page 158:
Kurosawa: !!!
Look!! He's following the crack
and he's planning to go all the way up the hang!!!
Takeda: He...
He disappeared...
Kurosawa: Let's go!!
Yumi: U...
Uu...

Page 159:
Yumi: ...-------!!!!
Kya...
SFX: GARARA
Yumi: MIYAMOTOOOOOOOOO!!

Page 160:
SFX: GASHIIII
Yumi: Mi-Miyamoto...?

Page 161:
Yumi: Mori-kun...
Kurosawa: Yokosuka North High School?
A high school climbing club!?
If that guy we saw is a high school student, then it was the appearance of a total rookie.
Takeda: Seriously!?
Kurosawa: But how should we handle this?
持ち上げるか
Should we raise him up?
叩き落とす
Or knock him down...?
