I climbed Japan's highest mountain Mt.Fuji
I climbed Japan's highest mountain "Mt.Fuji" with shorts, boots, a
t-shirt, a bottle of water and a Mars Bar. What was I thinking at first
- but at the end it was no problem mostly because i became numb from
the cold - until the sun rose early in the morning. We took the train
to the mountain.
Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is 3776 meters - Japan's
highest mountain. It is almost a perfectly shaped volcano and has been
treated as a sacred mountain and is very popular for world travelers.
People from all over world were there climbing Fuji-san.
We started at 6:30 pm from the fifth station and arrived at the top at 1:00 am an elevation of 3,776 metres (12,388 ft).
I also picked up a traditional souvenir - a climbing aid - a Japanese Mt Fuji walking stick and a Mt Fuji blue cap.
It
was awesome and a peaceful journey seeing the breathtaking views and at
the same time a dangerous experience standing on the edge of the
cliffs; well worth the trip. "Your are wise to climb Fuji once and a
fool to climb it twice."
