Climbing Guide for Mt FUJI > Preparation for Mt Fuji climbing > About the clothing for climbing
As explained before, the weather up on the Mt.Fuji is completely different from the ground. The weather changes rapidly from sunny to rainy and vice versa.
Among all, the most dramatic change is the temperature. The temperature drops for 0.6 degree Celsius for every 100 meter upward. So the temperature difference can reach 20 degrees.
If you are so unlucky that a storm directly hits you, this can be a matter of life and death. So, do pay much attention on your clothing.
I bring the following clothes with me for each and every trip.
It will be better if the list contains hiking-specific clothes, but it is too costly for one who only use them a few times per year, so the flowing clothes do combine with daily clothes.
These are the minimum requirement that can ensure your safety.
If you think you need some other stuffs, do add them base on your needs.
Bringing more with you is better than you start regretting on the Mountain.
