Video Transcription

[Music]

moon tents it's a little bit incredible actually camp without a fire was in the rain and now we can't without a fire negative six degrees this is our consolation my phone is new focusing sunrise about to hit right there you know all things considered this is one of the top ten moments of my life I'm just excited for the view just so you guys know that it's inside of a building like that okay sighs oh there might be a window that you started snowing so the clouds above here I think these brought in some snow it's supposed to snow occasionally today hinders getting the Mount Fuji shot out of a tent I don't think you can get a better campsite for this actually I had it's cold though can't let these glasses go to waste

oh my god that's the strong person Oh almost fell over just the plan here yeah you can I think you can go up this way or you can put back down enough another path they probably meet it something so next up is the summit correct yes we'll pass through one more tent spot are you having feelings evokes yet oh my god I'm not gonna chase it with this path that we're on right now it's significantly easier oh man this is kind of nice actually I hope that we looks like out here this is quite gorgeous mountain ranges man yeah that looks cool looks like we're on some journey to those mountains okay so what's the sign say this is back down towards the bus stop that we came from yesterday this is obviously where we came from which was their tent space the launch and then this is towards the mountaintop this area right here looks just like Wayne National Forest

just came from down there you got a little more ways to go up here pretty amazing view isn't it look at that dude not Fuji is right there it is very hard to overstate how beautiful this is as hard as the hike was yesterday that's how beautiful this is right now [Music]

ice that forms in the dirt that kind of barren landscape but the wet ground at the same you're actually doing an excellent job filling the Thomas role because Thomas is the one who's always trying to push this part of the trail is so much easier I'm not sure if we're at the highest point but uh it seems like it's leveled out quite a bit we're just walking the ridge of the mountains my response to your previous comment should have been the phrase that you guys have so commonly used gotta have that balance [Music]

the first summit is called Kogelo toriyama which just means small coup motoyama this is jr. you almost have to go on all fours there the jr. is serious man

three juniors actually the man in charge and dad is juniors like the guard so if you can make it up me a product be able to make it up [Music]

this is the final push before the small summit enough for that we get to the big summit little ways up no switchbacks or anything just straight up this is their final push oh I saw it [Music]

wow that is Japan believe that's Tokyo right there officially say that summited a mountain in Japan no less find a mountain boys yeah we did I just climbed the mountain holy crap Thomas for you [Music]

[Music]

okay we're making our way back down the mountain

our campsite and a special little surprise awaits us oh man I hope this bath right here has been a straight shot down and our initial plan was actually to do the reverse so we would have had to go up this if today's Hills were crushing going up this would have been soul-crushing there's a lot of signs when you go to places where there are low it'll say like beware of monkeys they're not friendly at all like they think of those doesn't there sometimes also cuz they're hungry and they want your food less than an hour ago we were just out there down here how many meters have we gone down less than an hour you think some zeros chasing us we're making a lot of progress towards that and this portion of the trail is much much easier than the entire day is VIN it's all been downhill and right now besides the sheer drop-off it's very easy it's amazing because this trail is very precarious but we've seen quite a few people who were maybe not elderly but there are definitely quite a bit older and they seem to have made it just fine this is not a very forgiving trail thank you

[Music]

oh my god twice if they ask me why I'm sorry but I think right in living on girl I did not expect to be eating this tonight not at all always we were expecting curry and rice balls but man oh my god
