Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Mt. Fuji for those of advanced age 2009/7/30 My hubby really wants to climb Mt. Fuji with me and our 17 yr old daughter. Although both of us are healthy, I think we are somewhat old (we are 47) to do such strenuous climbing. I am still debating on whether to climb. Any of you climbed mt. fuji around my age? Do you recommend it? In Japan, do women my age wear jeans? by Stella (guest)   ... 2009/7/30 There are lots of people in their 50s, 60s and 70s, who do the climb. With 47 you will certainly not be among the oldest. Whether you should do the climb does not depend on your age. It depends on your shape. Imagine to walk up some stairs for 7 hours. And then walk them down for 5 hours. If you think that you cannot do it, I recommend not to climb Mount Fuji. If you do climb it, prepare carefully: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6901.html by Uji rate this post as useful whaaaat 2009/7/30 you aren't even close to old. get crackin! by winterwolf rate this post as useful Jeans 2009/7/31 Wear a pair of destroyed jeans climbing mt fuji and you will look like a hot mama! by .

Be aware of HAPE, I got it 12 years ago when I first climb such high mountain. Good Luck! by Francis (guest) rate this post as useful
