The view was, well, less than perfect when I finally made it up to the top of Mt. Fuji.
Japan is a country of volcanoes and the highest of them is the well-known Mt. Fuji, or Fuji-san, at 3,776 metres. For years it had exerted a strong attraction to me, but for various reasons I had never actually climbed it. Therefore, when I switched on a torch to set out on a dark and rainy evening at 11 pm. to climb the mountain with two colleagues, I felt thrilled about the coming night. Our concern of that moment was to arrive at the summit at sunrise the next morning. Actually, since our torch worked well, we were climbing more rapidly than most indications suggest, and therefore decided to wait some time at the rest houses which we encountered at regular intervals.
