Fuji), and mountain huts along the way for refreshments or rest. Usual hiking gear and average physical fitness for a moderately, but not extremely difficult hike. Clothing and Sun Protection to withstand about 0-5 deg C weather at the Summit (3700 metres).Allowing time and pacing speed to adjust to High Elevation Air. *I had warned my climbing colleague against rushing too quickly to get to the top, who then was suddenly struck violently ill only during the time at the top.*There is an excellent source of English Information at the following link:http://www.sunplus.com/fuji/scott/scott2-1.html
