And there it is, Fujisanyamadakedeska. Or as I like to call it, Mount Fuji. A lot more snow on it this year compared to the same time last year. Someone live streamed their death climbing it 2 days ago. And before I am told its not climbing season, THOUSANDS of people climb it every year out of season, even in January and February. There are organised tours every single day. Of course that does not make it safe, but people also die climbing it during climbing season. Given the amount of snow and ice on it right now, you could not do it without ice axes and crampons etc.
