    I tried using it, but I don't understand what it wants me to do! It says scroll, but when I do it just zooms in. Which is the same as clicking? I tried scrolling to the left but that just moved me to where I am now.

    Love the idea, but strange UX.

    Edit: tried it again and I think the problem is that there's no feedback during scrolling during transition screens. When I scroll, I expect it to scroll with me, not go on its own path. So by the time it's possible to scroll again, I already tried everything and gave up. Made more confusing by the instructional text disappearing between transitions. Give a little bit more feedback during those transitions and I think the problem goes away.

    I plan to be a fool, thrice. The first after my father passed, the second with my younger son when he went to school in Japan. I look forward to my third ascent after my older son is married later this year.

    Once a wise man twice a fool....I'm a fool :) My most humbling experience was making it to the top, exhausted but happy only to see a jogger reach the top, look at his smart watch briefly and start back down again. Jerk.

      Was thinking of that saying… I too would like to climb it (but just the once).

    I don't have many things on my bucket list but climbing Mt Fuji is probably the number 1
