Is It Dangerous to Climb Mount Fuji Alone? (and Other Related Questions)

Mount Fuji is usually climbed from several start points that are connected with regular bus lines. The actual climb is always a simple walk up without any exposed sections. This is a volcano so make sure you have appropriate boots for such a harsh volcanic environment.

You do not need a guide for this, the direction is obvious and there are many people around, and there is no way you can get lost. The mountain is snow-free in summer time. So Mt Fuji is safe to climb, there are no dangerous spots, and you can do this alone. But if you are there in official climbing season, you will never be alone on this mountain, it is always very crowded.

As usual with such high mountains, you should avoid days with possible thunderstorms and lightning.

Hiking to Bivak III za Akom – Hidden Gem in Slovenian Alps

The Bivak III za Akom is an old shelter for true alpinists who climb nearby rocks of Široka peč, Dovški križ, Veliki Oltar, Velika Ponca and other steep walls. It was built in 1946, and it offers up to 8 places for sleeping.

Although there are signs for it in the lower part of the route, it may be difficult to find it. This is on purpose, the bivouac is not really a tourist spot. Plan at least two hours to get there from the valley.

Are Alta Via Routes in the Dolomites Ever Too Crowded?

The question in the title is motivated by discussions I had recently on some social media forums and groups. My impression is that people tend to use the term “too crowded” in a superficial manner, without really specifying the meaning of the phrase, and without understanding the topic completely.

I have asked a few times what they mean by “crowded”, and how/why the crowd is a problem, and as a rule, I never get a proper answer. This is why I thought this issue should be discussed in a separate post, and here it is.
