Some of us were in shape to climb Mount Fuji, but most of us
had spent the year drinking in bars instead of doing any real form of athletic
activity. We began our hike when the sun set with the goal in mind to hit the
top by sunrise. I was delirious by the fourth hour when the altitude sickness
kicked in, and sadly watched the elderly powerwalk past me. The small oxygen
tank I bought felt like a sham. But when I reached the top, all the pain was
forgotten when I looked at the sun eye to eye.
