If so, would i need hiking boots etc? by MissH in tokyo   fuji in sept 2009/8/18 you can climb off season, but remember it is at your own risk, there is a reason the season is so short. no first aide station and most if not all huts are closed. by connie (guest) rate this post as useful ... 2009/8/18 Can i climb Mt Fuji mid september time? Approx the 22nd or 23rd? Yes, if you prepare well and have experiences with high mountains, i.e. are able to judge the weather conditions and potential dangers. If so, would i need hiking boots etc? Hiking boots are always recommended, although you see hikers doing it in regular shoes. Among the people you see limping down the mountain, most do not have proper footware. An injury to your ankles can be potentially very dangerous in the off-season. by Uji rate this post as useful Fuji 2009/8/21 I would be very cautious of climbing Mt Fuji off season. I climbed it with my husband in perfect weather and got utterly pwned by altitude sickness. Even whilst eating and drinking regularly, taking oxygen... God! I felt so rough! We didn't quite make it to the top, and were very disappointed. I cannot imagine what it would be like climbing it in poor autumnal weather. This is a BIG mountain. You will need serious preparation to attempt it and even more so 'out-of-hours'. by Ruth (guest) rate this post as useful
