Two rescue operations on the Mount Fuji were successful this week, saving the life of a student both times.
Fresh Take:
Hey there! Here's an intriguing tale from Japan, starring a determined young chap who's got himself quite the mountain adventure.
This week, our hero - a 27-year-old Chinese student living in Japan - found himself in quite a pickle, twice, on the towering slopes of Mount Fuji. Talk about a week he won't forget!
Media reports claimed that our hero returned to the 3,776-meter peak to retrieve his phone that he left behind during the first rescue operation. Talking about a costly mistake, huh?
A hiker came across our eager explorer on a trail at around 3,000 meters on Saturday, and he was rushed to the hospital, suspected of altitude sickness, according to local police.
But things get even more interesting. Seems like our young man was already rescued from Fuji four days earlier, as suggested by reports from Japanese media and private TV station TBS. In a bold move, he tried to climb Fuji again to fetch his forgotten phone, but it's unclear if he managed to find it during his second attempt[1][2].
Now, there's no word about a 20-year-old Japanese student being rescued from Mount Fuji in recent times. So, it seems like our story is all about our adventurous Chinese student. Keep an eye out for updates on this thrilling tale!
