Early in the year, when I was diagnosed with cancer was learning that I'd be undergoing surgery, I made a promise to myself to climb Fuji before the end of the year.
It wasn't as much a Herculean task as I thought, evidently. Before my operation in June, I asked my surgeon if he thought it would be possible for me to climb it after the surgery. He said "No. The climbing season doesn't start until July. You'll have to wait until then."
