First Climb

January 22-23 of 2010, together with Ms. Che Papelera and Christian Zara, we climbed Mount Maculot in Batangas, Philippines. The following photos depicted how this small endeavor of mine was made light of these two good people.

Mount Maculot is located in Cuenca, Batangas

Waiting for our companion...

After a short walk, we finally reach the starting line to Mount Maculot.

Resting times...

Upon reaching the fellowship area, swig of tequila to fight the cold and a promise of things to come???

Our dinner.

After dinner, we prepare to pitch up the tent.

And the fellowship begins...

If you can help it, do not let the sun rise without seeing it.

A short and speedy breakfast.

Then we prepare for the summit.

The rocky, muddy walk to the summit.

Almost there...

Whew...The Summit of Mount Maculot

Trek down

This trip is something I will always cherish and remember as long as I live. Thank you for the experience.
