Ascent in Winter witkcut Guidee or Coolies: 4,000 ft of Solid Ice Tokio, Feb. 18.
A feat that must certainly rank as.one of the hardiest ever accomplished in Japan, or for that matter anywhere else in the world, is an ascent of Int. Fuji in the middle of winter.
This was recently achieved by two members of the British Air Mission now engaged in training Japanese naval aviators at the Kassumigaura aerodrome, in Ibaraki prefecture.
The two climbers, who may certainly claim to have established a new mountain record in Japan, were Lieutenant-Commander Orde Lees, and Mr. H. Crisp.
