S brought me to another shrines visit after our blood donation. One of them he had went up on the day before the New Year as he read that there would be a ritual and its the best chance to try his luck to get the stamp. In the end he went, climbed the mountain in stormy winter and waited 2 hours with no one around. Came back home freezing and looking dejected, then told me no to bring up the topic that night lol! (Not all shrines have shrine master standing by all the time, some only appear at certain times or certain occasion, the shrine masters might have several shrines to handle). So he wanted to try his luck again. I rejected his offer to climb to top of mountain as I knew it was not easy and I wanted to pee once I was out in the cold.
The good thing was while he was climbing half way, the shrine master came down and both of them climbed up again so he finally got his stamp this time!
