Other insurances not very sure. I know not all able to coverage for Outdoor trip on Oversea. You need call and check more detail.

But based on my last exp. and I able to make a claim without any delay so far.

I had summitted mt fuji on 19th July. The weather is cold and windy especially after 12am. I wore just 2 layer of clothes during the start. After 7th station, started wearing my thermal layer and outershell. The final climb from 8.5 station to summit is jam with ppl. The locals said that day is the best sunrise as its was always cloudy since they started in July.

I will post more info n pics when I get back to Singapore.

Its was abt 8degrees at night. I din time to look at my watch as I had to look after my fren. She is weak and had old injuries. I only train abt 6-7times of climbing hdb stairs at 72storeys each with 10kg each time. On actual climb, I carried abt more than 8kg. With dslr, tripod, 2 x 1.5litres, clothes, food and toiletries. I din even drink my water as I was helping her to finish off her drink to lessen her weight. I got a fuji climbing map that shows the time needed to take from each station to each station.

My fren who was a quite a strong climber, climb from 3pm-8pm. But he rest alot. Going down only took abt 2 and a half hr at a fast pace.

Note: do not climb fast as u will get altitude sickness. I got abit of headache up there.

You can refill at the mountain huts but you need to pay (and its expensive).

I carry my own water up. The good thing is that it gets lighter as you go up
