(CNN) – The authorities in Japan saved the same climber from the Mount Fuji slopes twice in the space of a week.
The 27 -year -old was rescued for the first time on Tuesday after having fallen ill, Shizuoka police told CNN on Monday. He had to be rescued again on Saturday after his return to the mountains to recover his personal effects, including a mobile phone, which he had left, they said.
Tuesday, the climber – a Chinese student currently living in Japan – reached the summit, which is 3,776 meters (12,388 feet), before feeling an altitude evil.
On Saturday, it was rescued with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters (9,842 feet), after being again in bad illness.
His life is not in danger, according to the police.
The man made the double ascent of the most famous mountain in Japan outside the official climbing season, which takes place from July 10 to September 10.
According to the official Mount Fuji website, all the paths to the top are closed and most of the panel panels have been deleted, with all the huts, the toilets and the closed first aid stations for the dead season.
Overcrowding and other problems prompted civil servants to the prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi – who share Mount Fuji – to institute new rules before the 2025 climbing season.
Among the measures, which was announced in March, is an obligation to pay 4,000 yen ($ 28) for a permit to climb. Climbers will also have to book slot online, because the mountain is limited to 4,000 visitors per day.
It is double the price of 2024, the first year that the compulsory “tourist tax” was implemented on the mountain. Before that, there was a suggested optional donation of 1,000 yen per person.
“By strongly promoting complete security measures for the climbing of Mount Fuji, we will ensure that Mount Fuji, a treasure in the world, is transmitted to future generations,” Koutaro Nagasaki, governor of the Prefecture of Yamanashi, said last year.
The growing number of people on the mountain is not the only problem. Some climbers needed medical care due to the wearing of inappropriate equipment such as sandals and flip -flops or not to provide appropriate equipment or enough water.
In response, the prefecture of Shizuoka – the starting point of three of the four Mount Fuji trails – added another measure. Potential hikers will have to follow a brief class on hiking safety and local rules, then take a short test to confirm that they have understood the information.
Another restriction will be promulgated for mountain times.
The mountain will be closed from 2 p.m. to 3 a.m. every day to anyone who does not spend the night in a cabin. These hiking huts are located along the Fuji trails and are available to rent for people who choose to spend the night rather than trying to finish all the hike in a single day.
