British group climbs 98 mountains in anti-land mine campaign

AOMORI, Japan - Tom Fearnehough is seen at Mt. Hakkoda in Aomori Prefecture on Dec. 13 after he and two other British men completed a journey during which they had aimed to climb Japan's 100 most famous mountains, but missed two, to raise money and awareness for anti-land mine campaigns in Afghanistan and other war-torn countries. The 10-month effort ended on Dec. 4 when Fearnehough, 26, scaled Mt. Rausu in western Hokkaido. Paul Briffa, 24, and Ben Davies, 23, both sustained injuries and had to give up their quest in the final stages, while bad weather forced Fearnehough to forego climbing the final two mountains.
