My wife thinks I'm nuts.

I see a tree, cliff, wall, or mountain and want to climb it.
It's a compulsion that's still alive and well after 41 years on this planet.

Fuji this summer.
Totally agree! I lived in Japan for three years and I climbed Fuji every one of them. I'm going to start knocking out the 14'ers here before I go back over seas.

Call me crazy, but I went up twice in 2 weeks. (Yoshida and Subashi trails)
I would have gone back for a 3rd, but couldn't find someone else going (driving) when I had time free.
Back home now, internal clock all jacked.

The Koko Head crater hike this spring was but a pale warmup for Fuji, although I found the thin, cool air at altitude to be more to my liking than sea level.
