Mount Fuji Rescue: A Costly Mistake

A Chinese student's decision to climb Mount Fuji outside the official climbing season resulted in two dramatic rescues.

His initial rescue was due to lost crampons; incredibly, he returned for his phone resulting in another emergency.

This reckless behavior not only endangered his life but also burdened emergency services with a significant expense.

The incident underscores the importance of heeding safety warnings and respecting the potential dangers of off-season mountaineering.
