He first did it in 1972. Since then, he’s done it almost every year, completing his 35th climb on July 18.
Climbing Ukraine’s highest mountain has become something of a soul-searching ritual for him.
In 2004, it was a fighter's climb. In 2009, it’s more like a farewell climb.
Plus tons of trash.

The huge crowds are a bit unappealing, but I'm putting the hike on my "to do" list anyway. Our highest peakmight be a bit too advanced.
Is it similar to climbing Mt Fuji in Japan?
John,
Your highest peak looks a bit more challenging than ours! Anyway, you’re welcome to try out ours!
Ropi,
It probably is, except for the trash.
