I climbed Mt.Fuji this past weekend. I would have to describe it as one of the best experiences of my life. I have never seen such a beautiful sunrise.?I want to thank all of the people that came down with me on the climb.
It’s a bizarre experience to say the least. You are climbing with children, old people and other foreigners. Then, when you are about an hour from the summit, everyone stops. You are now stuck in a human traffic jam. There are over 3000 people on the mountain.
The top is freezing, but the rest is just fine. The air is thin so be prepared for altitude sickness.
We saw a man going down the mountain in a full business suit. One of the most surreal things I have ever seen.
A wise proverb says that only a fool climbs Fuji twice. I couldn’t agree more. Since I have returned, my legs have seized up.
