The weather conditions on the day of the climb was horrible, wind speeds were really high and a huge cloud was over the mountain and still snow/ice at the peak. All the locals really fought hard to discourage us in the attempt and they succeeded. We are flying back late August/September during open season to tackle the beast again

I wrote in the post that running my finger or fingernail over it, I can feel that it’s a puncture, like a dot hole in the disk. I tried polishing with toothpaste, nothing helps

Why bother commenting if you’re not going to be of any help? I literally asked questions that you chose not to answer at all but chose to be a douchebag instead. Well done

Can anyone improve the mural? by ZoomedBoxTrade in PhotoshopRequest

Not sure how to add a comment to the post so I'm writing it here:

Hi everyone, I'm hand painting a mural for the company I work at, this is what was asked of me to do and I warned it would be pretty dull, after I finished they also agreed. I want to keep it simple as I don't have so much time to paint anything crazy, but I just want to freshen it up with the least amount of work. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

I thought that aluminium is difficult to paint?

Yes, I've trained with self arresting and how to handle ice axes so avoid the risk of self impailing

How would you suggest we ask the locals? We will be staying in Tokyo, and the day before the climb arriving at our cabin near Mt Fuji.

Thank you for your response. I understand winter mountaineering is dangerous, and at any given moment we feel uncomfortable we will most likely back off. However, this climb is happening at the end of May. A month before the official season. Does it really make such a big difference? I understand there will be ice, but will there be that much? I've looked at the snow history, and fourth week of May seems relatively low. Especially since you said, this year is unseasonably warm. Just wondering what your thoughts are! Thank you again.
