Late September Mt. Fuji Tour
A group of 3 went up Mt. Fuji on our 1 day tour yesterday September 23rd. As we started our climb we met climbers coming down the mountain saying it was snowing and icy at the 7th station, hence they turned around to climb back down. We started from the 5th station hiking in the rain but 10 minutes into our hike and the sun began to shine!
It was a race against time to reach the summit. With snow and ice along the trail from the 8th station on up we needed to reach the summit before nightfall in order to make the descent in daylight. Unfortunately we were only able to make it to the 8.5th station, but it was a great hike and a fun time spent with eachother! Thanks David, Donald and Matt for a fantastic climb up Mt. Fuji!
