Going down is the hardest part. Altitude got to me a bit. Dinner at the Station 8 was good, not so much coming up. <br />Definitely true on the climbing it twice being a fool. Guess I'll be a fool next summer.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I went with a group but didn't make it to the top. Not sure what that makes me, but I did meet a nice Australian guy on the way down!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I climbed it in around 1952 with 4 young Japanese employees from my office while stationed in Yokohama. Yes, being covered with a lot of lava, going down was very tiring but much faster than climbing up. We climbed as far as we could during the night with a flashlight focused ahead then the last person climbed up while someone else held their flashlight, lighting a path. We were tired on the train going back home.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I passed on the opportunity to climb Mt. Fuji while on my first deployment. I had much better things to do (as I thought then) and my priorities were Tokyo - Roppongi!<br />Subsequent deployments, the mountain was not open for climbing, it was the off season.<br />Thus to right the wrongs the wife and I are planning a trip there in couple years time once both of us are done with school and after I get a job.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. Start early. Coming down in the dark is a not good thing. I feel no need to do it again.
