Climbing Mt. Fuji = 10,000,000 Man Points

Man Points,
The essence of manliness.

Tyler, Gib and Myself (Jake) have acquired an unprecedented 10,000,000 Man Points.
Why? We have conquered Mt. Fuji.

Myself, Tyler, Gib. We're in Tokyo this week on business. We had a free day and decided to climb Mt. Fuji. It was a little colder, windier, and wetter than we anticipated. We took the above photo at the summit. The wind was so strong we could only stay for a few seconds. More than enough time to make history.

We learned the meaning of the word "Ganbare", which means to "hang in there". We shout "Ganbare" to the Japanese and they return the favor.

We see some spectacular views of the clouds.

Capitalism is alive and well on Mt. Fuji. We pay 600 yen (1200% markup) for a Cup of Noodles. In the cold wet wind, it's the best meal we've ever had.

We eventually reach the top. A Tori gate is all the separates us from eternal glory.

We feel camaraderie with the ancient manly Samurai who walked this mountain, cleaning up trash.

We arrive safety back to the base station in good spirits.
