Spectacular


Hiking Mt Fuji during the night and watching the sunrise with hundreds of hikers from around the world, was quite possibly one of the most amazing things I've experienced in my life. It took eight grueling hours (8pm-4am) of braving the bitter cold rain, adjusting to the altitude, and waiting in long lines up the mountain, but the end result was well worth it. When the sun started to peak through the clouds, for one brief moment we were all connected, all the hikers from around the world, and everything just made sense. Simply amazing.

That is awesome! Not only is the video thrilling but it was fun to hear the excitement in the audio, as the group witnessed the sunrise.
