This article does not contain the critical information of whether or not he successfully found his phone!

A third climb may be needed.

Ok but then what about the airpods? Fourth climb?

Or the name of the prestigious university cranking out this caliber of genius.

Their students may not be the brightest, but they are renowned for their tenacity

But not that phone

A Milford Man.

I'm hoping he found it, had reception, called authorities, and said, "Sorry guys, you're not going to believe this, but...".

Maybe he just didn't want to hike back down.

I get it, I got the worst blisters in my life doing the same thing, the hike up was fine but down destroyed my toes.

Apparently media doesn't know as of yesterday: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mount-fuji-climber-rescued-twice-returned-to-get-phone/

It was not known whether he was able to find his phone in the end, local media reported.
