"A 27-year-old university student who climbed Mount Fuji outside of its official climbing season was rescued twice in four days, after he returned to look for his mobile phone."

Really?? Twice?? For a phone? The trails are officially closed. *Facepalm*

Curious about the style of crampons, presumably have to be a proper technical pair for someone to get to a place where you'd be stranded without them.
