Fikoosan

Fikoosan a mountain in Japan, to which an order of Jammabos or monks go in pilgrimage once a year; an extremely difficult task, on account of the precipices with which it abounds. This mountain is believed to be a test of the character of a man, for if a wicked person should undertake he pilgrimage, the devil would enter into him on his first attempt to ascend the hill.
