Fuji-san

This is Bob.

Well, I failed.  Not a new experience, but never a pleasant one.

I don't think the mountain wanted me up there.  40-50 knot winds and driving rain; we were soaked to the skin 5 seconds after we left the bus.

I managed to get up to Station 7 (2700 meters) after 3 hours and many breathers.  I requested a halt at that point, having found my limitations.  Adam and Steve could have made it to the top without a problem, but it was just too hostile for me.  They played the dutiful sons, and turned back with me...
