A 27-year-old university student who climbed Mount Fuji outside of its official climbing season was rescued twice in four days, after he returned to look for his mobile phone.

Did he get his phone back, at least?

But days later, he returned to the mountain to retrieve belongings that he left behind, including his phone. He was rescued again on Saturday after suffering from altitude sickness but is now out of danger.

I dunno, seems like the danger occupies the gap between his glasses and the back of his hat.

This article does not contain the critical information of whether or not he successfully found his phone!

But not that phone

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 25 points 7 hours ago

I'm hoping he found it, had reception, called authorities, and said, "Sorry guys, you're not going to believe this, but...".

If you climb a mountain and are rescued twice, did you really climb it if you didn’t instagram it?

Better go up again to take those pictures
