Category
Person-Person

Today’s episode takes us to the highest mountain in Japan via a lesser used route. Join host Heather Anderson as she chats with self-professed amateur ultrarunner Simon Pfreundschuh about his self-supported FKT on Mount Fuji. He talks about how this 12,000 vertical ascent (and descent) became his first FKT as well as the ways the Paul Deckret route surprised him. He also offers his tips for planning an FKT while traveling and shares the things he would have done differently.

Description

The 22-mile out-and-back traverse of Moscow Mountain begins at the Headwaters Trailhead just north of Moscow, Idaho, and follows Foothill Road before climbing steadily up Moscow Mountain Road to the summit of East Moscow Mountain. With roughly 2,900 feet of elevation gain, this dirt and gravel road traverses the entire ridgeline of the mountain and is a favorite among local hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers. Moscow Mountain rises above the rolling Palouse farmland and enters a forested mountain landscape with panoramic views.
