Monster Fuji

Mt. Fuji was tough. I did it once and I think I am good. No more, thanks.

6,7 hours to climb up,
10 hours to come down.
Puked 1 time.
Slipped n times.
Help strangers to take pictures 3 times.
Felt like she is gonna be dead on the mt. 3 times.


before climbing. 1pm, 2pm ish?

first couple hours. everyone is all soaked from the rain...
but i still managed to smile this time.

Climbing was never ending...quite freaky..

The view was really awesome already when we were in level 7th maybe?
The whole thing has 10 levels.

Finally at 7pm we got to our rest stop. 4 other girls slept with me in this box that night, for 5 hours and we had to get up at 1am, to start walking before the sun rise.
See my eyes? They were TIRED.


This was 1am in the morning. Couple hours before puking. (that was so gross....and I was fine afterwards....)

The sunrise at 5am.


Finally found my friends on the way down, I stopped walking up at level 8th, they said it will only take me 30mins to get to level 10th. But I DOUBTED it. So I walked across to the other way to go down, and found my friends from CSB/SJU after being alone walking in the dark for 6 hours. hahaha. The feeling was incredibly how I saw them after I was behind for so long.....it was magical too, how I can just see them when I got to the going down path.

This is us, waiting for our director to come down. The end.

P.S. Mt. Fuji is nice to look from far away, you don't have to climb it. :P
