| Here is my "Price is Right" pose at 3100m. The altitude was already affecting my posing judgement. |
| Aaron strikes a pose close to the start, before the sun burnt him to a crisp. |
| Aaron and I made it to the top in 3 hours, 10 minutes. People at the top didn't believe us, since it usually takes 4.5 - 5.5 hours. Yeah, we bent Fuji over before we got bent over by Fuji. |
| The altitude was 3776m at the top and even after a rest, we were breathing like we were fat. We didn't get too close to the edge of the crater since the lack of oxygen was making us dizzy. |
| Looking into the crater I realized, hey, it would be funny to push a kid in there. Aaron said it would be illegal, so we settled for telling a group tour that it was the quick way down and they all droped like lemmings. Suckers! |
| On the way down, we received bad directions (ascending and descending trails were different). We ended up way lower than we needed and I was dehydrated, even after drinking 2.5L of fluids. 2.5 hours of back tracking left me less than impressed with the mountain. We would have taken longer if it wasn't for an old guys secret trail. |
