Journey to Fuji-san (III)

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 21 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural.

I like how this photo looks in Black and White but I am posting it in color because I want you to see it as I did. When I made this photo I was starting to feel tired, oh yes, and this is a reminder that we had a long way to go to the top.
In this photo you can see many structures, those structures are the different huts where you can stop for a while and rest, or buy water, sweets or food as you are going up. It is possible to stay in some of the huts during the night and have dinner. Every hut has a special sign that they mark in your wood stick if you pay for it. You can buy a wood stick for 1000 ¥ before starting to climb, and the mark of the hut is usually around 200 or 300 ¥. The lowest hut in this photo is called Hana-goya Hut and it is located approximately at 2700 m of altitude.

Fuji-San. August 17th, 2007.
-Previously in the Journey to Fuji-san- Around 15:33 - The 212 Squad began their journey to the top of Fuji-san

Around 16:15 - Arrived to Fuji-san Safety Guidance Center. Received a Yellow paper showing the different routes to the top with the names of the different huts, altitude of the different stations, approximate time to reach to those places and a Notice to Climbers in the back of the paper. Had a small rest.
Around 16:30 - Continued our journey
16:56 - Time when I made this photo. Thought if I was going to make it to the top someday, started to feel tired.
