Mt. Fuji

Mt. Fuji climb over the long weekend... attempt FAIL.
Got altitude sickness after the 8.5th Station...
Although I was close to dying, having trouble breathing and trembling from the cold, I still managed to take this photo... the sunrise was absolutely amazing... no words can describe the incredible scenery. It was definitely worth the trip just to see this view.
As painful and physically demanding the climb was, going down the mountain was equally tough. But... since I was an hour away from the peak, I will have to reattempt this climb. REVENGE!
