Why Fuji Is Harder Than It Looks

47%

Don't Summit

Almost half of the climbers who start don't reach the top. Altitude sickness, weather, exhaustion, or poor preparation. Most turn back between the 8th station and the summit.

-15°C

At The Top In July

It's summer at sea level. At 3,776m it's winter. Wind chill makes it feel colder. We've seen -20°C with wind. People show up in shorts. Don't be those people.

1,400m+

Vertical Gain

From 5th station to summit is over 1,400 vertical meters. That's more than climbing the Empire State Building 4 times. At altitude, where there's 40% less oxygen.

Field Notes

Yoshida Trail · 5th Station

“Fuji is 3,776m. That's high enough to get altitude sickness. If you feel it, we turn back. No shame in that. The mountain will be here next year. You need to be too.”

— Tak, pre-climb brief
Subashiri Trail · Sand Section

“Subashiri starts with 2 hours of sand in your boots. It's annoying. The summit compensates. The sand descent is the most fun you'll have on the way down — half-running, half-sliding, laughing like a kid.”

— Yuki, route guide
