The horizontal axis is cumulative standard walking time in the snow-free season, not distance. The ridge line simply joins the recorded points, so it does not show the real shape of the terrain. Total ascent is an approximation summed between those points. Otensho Hutte, Yarigatake Sanso have no confirmed elevation, so they are placed provisionally between the points either side.
