Climbing Mount Fuji

Posted by Kenji Tay | 6:16 PM | | 0 comments »

One of the most unforgettable experience in life, was climbing Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak at 3,776 m (12,388 ft). Though it took me slightly longer than usual because of so many occasionally stops for photo taking and.. yes.. snacking. haha.

In order to view the sun rise, we climbed through the terrain from night 2230 hrs to day break. I must admit that I was very shock at the shear amount of human bodies towards the end of the climb. Most of which started climbing during the day and camp there during the night before
waking up early in the morning to view the sun rise.

It is indeed a wonderful experience and I really think that if everyone had this chance, clibing to the very top of mount fuji and viewing the sun rise.. wow.. It was just spectacular..

However, I wish to state that the journey up was fun and rather chilly. It was about 5 degrees at the top during the climbing season. So, do remember to bring along any jacket or sweater before you start your journey.

"He who climbs Mt Fuji once is a wise man; he who climbs it twice is a fool".. and i totally agree with that.. haha.. the journe done was.. wow.. tough...
