Climbing Mt. Fuji
On July 2001, We have finally decided to do it: Climb Mt. Fuji all way!
Sigal just came visiting me these days, so it was a perfect timing!
July is the best season to climb this mountain, and though you are being told it is
"too crowded", I haven't found it such crowded.
There were many people indeed, but there was no problem.
And besides...
2 of my good old friends in Japan, Peter and Oliver- I met during the climbing!
The Plan: Climbing till the Top of the mountain (3776 M), and catch the beautiful sunrise.

|
| 5th station: Sigal, Irit and Peter. Time: 22:00 O'clock | Continue up... 7th station. we are now 2700M out of 3776M... |
 |
 |
| Time is almost 04:00 AM. still dark, still climbing, but the sun will soon rise... | and indeed! We are almost on the top. and the Sunsire begins! |
 |
 |
| "One photo worth thasn thousands words...." | 1 stop before the top...daylight is coming! |
 |
 |
| Mt. Fuji's steep slop; above the clouds | Arriving the top, and you could feel the croud with this Q to the top... |
 |
 |
| A View from the Top... | Mt Fuji's Carter: Every year the Japanese news predict that it will spit out fire again... |
 |
 |
| Going down: Peter, Irit & Oliver | Walking down inside the clouds... I thing that going down was even more difficuld that climbing up! |
 |
There is an old Japanese saying says: "Everyone must climb Mt. Fuji at least once in his life" and let's add this: "and only a fool will do it twice".... :-)
