This is a "must read" for anyone who wishes to be successful in climbing Mt. Fuji. Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the mountain - it is a tough and grueling climb and the guidebook explains all there is to know about it. The guidebook is a comprehensive and easy to read recipe for what it takes physically and psychologically to get to the summit of this amazing but unpredictable mountain. The guidebook covers all facets of preparation, equipment, training and most importantly, altitude. The 4th edition of Climbing Mt. Fuji " A Complete Guidebook" is your complete preparation package and the only guidebook you will need to design your Mt. Fuji climb. Do not underestimate the climb. Mt. Fuji is characterized by severe elevation gains, rapidly changing weather and steep inclines. The climb is unlike any high-altitude quest one will ever attempt.

Review

Fantastic Mt Fuji Cimb: Excellent book by a very experienced guide. I read this comprehensive book and

then climbed Mt Fuji summit with Richard together with my husband and girlfriends. Such a wonderful experience.

It's very important to understand the complexities and potential dangers before you take on such a climb. We

did it off-season in June and would not attempt this without such a guide. Richard not only educated us on

the best route to take but he also showed us how to walk so we maintained our energy level and we did not suffer

physically after the climb. So beautiful and once in a life time experience made possible and very memorable by

Richard Reay and his guidebook. Thank you Richard! - By Nicki E. Titze -

To date Richard has published three original books: "Climbing Mt. Fuji A Complete Guidebook,” (Four Editions). An Economic textbook called “Burgernomics: The Academic Guide and Workbook" and the real-life story of the second-rate University Hockey team that won the Canadian National Championship under head coach Mike Babcock "Babcock's Bench Boy: Beneath the Scowl: The Tale of the Speed Goats.”

Richard first came to Japan as an exchange student while studying at the University of Lethbridge in Canada.

Richard holds a B.A in Economics and a Master’s Degree in Business obtained in Japan.

In 2008 he began working as a professional Mt. Fuji mountain guide. As one of the few non-Japanese official mountain guides on Mt.

He appeared on Japan's National Broadcasting Channel (NHK) in a show titled, Japan's 100 Most Famous Mountains as a professional Mt. Fuji guide.

When not climbing Mt. Fuji, Richard owns and operates "My Tokyo Guide Inc.," a travel company based in Tokyo, as well as teaches Economics at Asia University in Tokyo.

Will climb Mt. Fuji this summer (2019) and have lots of questions about the climb, how to access, routes, should we join a group or climb on our own etc. This guidebook contained everything I needed to know, I’m really glad I purchased it.
