Mountaineer Ken Noguchi shared his thoughts on social media about a rescue request from a Mount Fuji climber. Noguchi referenced an article about a woman, believed to be a foreigner, who felt scared at night near Mount Fuji’s Hoei Crater and required rescue. He commented that if feeling fear at night is the issue, simply avoiding night climbing would address it. His post sparked a variety of responses, with some suggesting it sounded like a babysitting request, others proposing rescues be charged a fee, and some arguing for mandatory guides on Mount Fuji.
