Climbing Mt.Fuji


Col.Dan Estropia Mt.Fuji sunrise 17 Aug 08.

I wish it were me up there but its not. My friend Col.Dan Estropia, the military attache to Japan & his son trekked up Mt. Fuji over the weekend on Aug.17,2008. They stayed overnight at a hut with other hikers It took them two days,& US$150 each only.At the top at 2,300 meters above sea level, at dawn, they had a magnificent view as they waited for the sunrise. Dan said he also got altitude sickness even though he trained for a couple of months for the trek.Fujisan's summit is 3,776 meters high,climbing season is from July-August.Check out this link if you want to give it a try.
