How high did you start? Any issues with altitude adjustments? All in one day, or take a few days?

I started at the 5th station and stayed there overnight to adjust to altitude since I live at sea level.

Did the entire hike up and down in a day, which is what most people do. Guidebook says it can be done in about 9.5 hours.

Took us 9 up 9 down rather than 6 and 3, part because I'm out of shape and partly due to brother's minor injury on descent.

No risk of storms on Fuji that can kill you? On Monte Perdido (Pyranees) people get killed by hypothermia, caught in 3pm storm.

My last attempt was stymied by a typhoon which made ascent untenable. Climbing is very safe in-season; not 100% though.
