I've climbed the bloody thing 7 times (once for myself, the other six
because I was being paid to). Unfortunately climbing it again on the
last weekend of July.

As a climb the mountain really sucks, so I can't really recommend any
of the tracks, though it is more interesting if you have the
opportunity to descend by a different route to the one you climbed.
There are mountain huts on all routes, but the huts on the route up
from Fuji City's shingogoume are probably the better ones in terms of
food and cost.
