Hi, I am looking for 1-2-3 people experienced in alpine climbing to go to Mt. Fuji on the weekend 25-27.02.2023.

If I don't find anybody, I will go alone. I have all usual alpine ice equipment with me except for a rope (which as I know is not needed there).

My experience is glacier hiking in the Swiss and Austrian Alps, easy mountains such as Breithorn or Wildspitze. I will go to Sato Goya hut on Sat. 25.02. and will stay there over one or two nights looking for a time slot with low wind on top of Fuji. Then I'll go up.

If you like to join me please write about your hiking experience before. You'll need all winter equipment (crampons, climbing belt, carabiners, ice screws, helmet, ice pickle, etc. very good winter clothes).

And a Sato Goya hut reservation. Hope to hear from you!

Eugen.

Only just winter... we used to have an office bet about climbing in winter - had to be in January or February. Only problems are near the top ( last few hundred metres) where the side slope traverse gets steeper and possibly very hard ice. With strong wind it can be dangerous if blown off the ice. If you are in Tokyo I will be doing some interesting events in April / May. Some rock scramble routes near my favourite mountain in Japan Gunma Jyoshu Yama - Myougi San (妙義山).
