The man, whose name is unknown, complained about the low temperature, deep snow, steep slopes and slippery surfaces before disappearing.

A team of ten rescuers in Japan began the search from Tuesday at dawn, after the possible fall of the climber of Mount Fuji, the highest peak in the country, was said, police said.

In the video that was broadcast live it could be seen falling down for several seconds before the image was frozen and local media said that people watching online alerted authorities about the apparent accident.

Several spectators commented that the situation seemed dangerous, but he moved on.

The images of the climb and its fall were removed from the site I was using to broadcast live.

Temperatures were well below the freezing point near the top of the 3,776-meter (12,388-foot) volcanic mountain on Tuesday night.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people climb Mount Fuji, considered a sacred mountain in Japan.

The official climbing season runs from the beginning of July until the end of August. Outside this period, the cabins and bathrooms are closed, but climbing is not prohibited.

But the head of the rescue team Kuniyasu Suzuki of the Shizuoka Police warned that the off-season weather conditions were severe.

“Broadcasting live while climbing is dangerous, as it could distract you. You should never do it,” he told the national NHK network.

Snowed during most of the year, the summit of the mountain is considered dangerous during the low season due to its steep slopes and constant gusts.

The conical mountain, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of Tokyo, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2013.
