Sadly, I am no longer in Japan. I also said never again. 8 hour up and 2 minutes down. I probably did it too late as I was sliding in the snow during the climb. Cramp-ons did not help much. I think it was May 19. Right now Saturday looks like a good day, although it might not be warm enough: http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts...-Fuji/6day/mid
