The camera that went to the top of Mt. Fuji

For years, my dad has told us the story of his climb to the top of Mt. Fuji in 1954. He and a friend started the climb at 10:00 p.m. and arrived at the top at around 11:00 a.m. the next day. He said it was a beautiful day, and they were above the clouds and he took lots of movies. The way he tells it, I can almost picture it. I have to be content with seeing it in my mind, because, unfortunately, there was a light leak in the camera and there are no pictures to look at. He has movies that he took previous to his climb, but afterwards he didn't use the camera again. But he's hung on to it and I asked if I could see the camera that went to the top of Mt. Fuji with my dad. :)
