hi gary!

i wonder if you can help me find a mountain i climbed many years ago?

i thought it was the 2nd highest in japan and called date (kita?), but i also thought it meant (white or black or horse) (hakusan?).

there was snow in the summer, and a hut/lodge with a rotemburo, which then at least was shared by men and women.

there was a distinctive long *sharp* ridge near the top. at the top near the hut were some dark craggy or pocked boulders. i don't remember if there were 2 huts, one partway up.

the trail led past the edge of the snow, and there were snow caves.

i don't recall a view of mt. fuji.
