Mount Fuji2016

Climbing Mount Fuji was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, both mentally and physically. We started our climb at 8pm and reached the summit at 4am, just in time to watch the sun rise over Japan. Despite the pain and the struggle, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
So it begins

sitting at the foot of Fuji getting ready for the climb

Above the clouds

watching a thunderstrom roll in from above is quite something

Recording memories

timelapsing the rising sun

Land of the rising sun

the painful climb was worth every minute for this sun rise

Traffic Jam

it gets busy on top of the world

We made it

cold, tired and delirious but we made it

The way down is definitely easier

easier. not easy

Just a short break

the only way is down

What did we get into

we found it easier on the legs to run down

The best and hardest thing Ive ever done

Mount Fuji was both mentally and physically challenging but the reward cannot be described.

Dilierium

no sleep and a lack of oxygen will do that to a man

The final mile

every part of me hurt but there was a part of me which didn't want it to end
