Kengamine, Fujinomiya

This weather station is a BEAST! I forgot to take any pictures up close that weren’t selfies. The highest point on Mt. Fuji, the last little climb up to the station is a bear. If you’re coming from the south, it’s a slick climb up a pretty significant gravel path to get up to the station. This was the first point in my climb that I used my poles, and the first time I though I might actually fall. Attacking from the other direction is easier, but then you still have to trek down the slippery slope if you want to make a full loop. Worth waking around when the sun is out for the extra views of the crater. Definitely nice during COVID times when you can go without crowds.
