Hi, Gary!
Many thanks and congratulations for your amazing web page with the great and very useful info!
I'm going to Japan in a couple of days and I'm planning to climb Fujiyama on 1st of July - I can't do it later, 'cause the next day, I have to be, late night, at Narita, to catch my flight back home!
I'd like to ask you if you think I'm able to make it...
I'm pretty fat (about 40 kilos more than the normal - according to my height), I'm a heavy smoker for the last 30 years, I hate fitness, exercise, gym, etc. and (of course) I've never climbed a mountain before!
BUT! I have faith and will and I REALLY want to make it!
So... what do you think?

Keep on the good work!
