Hi Mary – congratulations on getting to the summit. Fuji’s a tricky mountain. It’s so popular that people forget the dangers sometimes. They picked a guy up at the weekend who’d gone up on a whim in sneakers and T-shirt – he made it to the 8th stage before phoning the mountain rescue. And there was a big mess a few weeks ago, where a friend of mine had to participate in the rescue of half a dozen people. So I’m glad to hear you got up (and down!) safely & enjoyed it.

January was intense. I’ll give it another go next year, perhaps later in the season when there is a bit more snow and less ice on the ground..

Awesome and inspiring! Those decisions when to turn back,a real climber!I climbed Mount Fuji last summer 2009,and made it to the summit(climbed with group and 2 guides).It was summer season,but the peak was winter cold.And yes,the wind blows dangerously,i can’t believe it.And it comes without warning,really dangerous.I just couldn’t imagine what it was the time you made the climbed.That was REALLY GREAT!

Damian – no intention of dying any time soon… Great site, BTW, been using their forecasts a lot.

Scott – thanks!

Japanese Phrases – honestly, I don’t think you’re missing much. Fuji is better viewed than climbed. If you’re burning to climb something in Japan, go for Yari-ga-take instead. Much nicer.

Sonya – glad you liked it!

Keela – sure is, can’t disagree with that…

Billy – good to see you back. Blogroll updated!

David – still very much a floating idea… Too many projects, too little time. A high quality problem to have, though.

By the way, is the book project becoming a concrete thing or is it still a floating idea?

Wow, haven’t been by for awhile, but when I do return, you’ve got some beautiful shots of my favorite neighbor.

BTW, I’m at http://tokyofilter.com now.

Hope you don’t mind updating your blogroll.

Cheers!

Great write up and beautiful pictures. After all my time living in Japan, I still haven’t had the chance to go to mount Fuji. Only pass it by on trains.
