For Fuji? Not enough, I think

I am walking around a bit, but I can't really prepare for the altitude.

We will do Bear Mountain or Breakneck Ridge either 29 or 30 June just to get used to walking uphill.

Frankly it will be a challenge, but not insurmountable. That altitude is not fun, but at the very lower bound of hypoxia danger. As we are healthy with no lung or breathing problems, I think we'll be fine. The trail is well traveled with aid stations and if anyone is in trouble we'll head right back down.
