Hiking route:  Okutama Station 奥多摩駅 -> Mt. Kumotori Trailhead (Kamosawa) 雲取山登山口(鴨沢)-> Nanatsuishi Hut 七ツ石小屋 -> Mt. Kumotori 雲取山 -> almost the exact same way back, except I skipped Nanatsuishi Hut.

Much easier than last time; I probably should have taken this route in the first place. There was some snow on the trail, but plenty of people had walked on it to create a clear path. The trail was wide and easy to walk on; I never felt like I would slip down and die if I misstepped (unlike my previous attempt). The only challenges were the total elevation gain (roughly 1800m) and the strong wind on the ridgeline.
