Who here has climbed Mt Fuji?
Tips? Advice?
Should I follow the crowds and aim to be at the summit by sunrise? Is it worth it?
Bullet climb with no huts?
Are there any huts that don't need a reservation?
Which trail to go for?
Will I freeze my nuts off up there or die from altitude sickness?

>Bullet climb with no huts?
Not allowed, you can climb up and down it in a day easy
>Are there any huts that don't need a reservation?
No
>Which trail to go for?
Pretty much all the same really, just depends if you want to walk west, or more northern. All take about the same time.
>Will I freeze my nuts off up there or die from altitude sickness?
Not really, gets to around freezing but not to bad, fuji is not even as high as most US mountains. Unless you are young or very old altitude won't be an issue

I've never climbed a mountain before lol
Any huts you'd recommend for the Yoshida or Fujinomiya trail? I guess I'd have to ring up and call them as there are no online bookings, huh?

It's really just more of a long hike. Either is fine honestly, Fujinomiya is fine. Faxing is the most common way honestly, also saves you the trouble of trying to get past the language barrier over the phone.
Booking huts in advance? O damn.
Im a pretty tough guy. How do I get up there for the sunrise, if I don't care about the lack of sleep?
