Back again but much better going down.
We stop to thank the Kami for a Fabulous Trip up the mountain. Mamotte Itadaite Hontou ni Arigato!!!
Closer still!
Finally, back to the Trees and close to the completion.
Back to some sand.....
Ahhh, the coolness walking in the shade.
Finishing the Sand Run and to the trees, we think.....
Getting closer to the bottom...we hope...
Time to strip off layers (and FAST pants) to prepare for lower altitudes.
Rivers of Snow water carve tricky terrain.
One more run while we can.
The softest volcano ash anywhere! Run Musketeers Run!
Again Porthos finds the way!
A quest for the Sand Run Down...
Near our Base 7 snow drifts make awesome caves!
Usually in trouble, here in snow!
Soon to be a Winter Olympic Sport!
Presenting The FAST!(Fuji Ass Slider Team)
4 Hours to the Top, 30 mins back to Base 7! Fastest ButtTs on Fuji!
Now for the decent. How are we going to handle the snow fields.....
Making it to the Top has that effect on people.
So we're @ the Top an there is an Italian who has carried a 400 year old Cello up to play! Bravo! Incredible! Fantastic! Kandoteki!
We Made It!!
Wonder who had carry these puppies up.
Getting closer...
It feels steeper than it looks!
Almost to 9 and a short break.
What we've been treking through.
Still smiling and treking on.
More and More snow as we get closer to the top.
Now that's roofing! Hon-8
The other way to spend the night.
Got the tunes going and the blood pumping!
Aramis and D'artagnan across the ice and snow fields.
Taking a breath as the air gets thinner.
We're on top of the world, looking down on creation.
Half covered in snow.
No spikes but making good time.
Great Day For A Climb!
Have a Kitt-Katt...Aramis you forgot them!?! Ok Power Bars!
Almost break time!
"Hey! I'm in better shape than I thought!"
Lots of energy as we start!
Ready and set to go!

Looking out from the bunks.
Hiker's shoes
Layers and layers of blankets. Very comfy and warm.
