[summerscent]

hi mga sis! nag papa member ako ngayon sa isang hiking group. getting ready na for the induction climb come June 

ask ko lang kayo mga sis kung anong trekking bag ang magandang gamitin at di naman kamahalan. salamat!!!!

[princessette]

hi sis summerscent anong hiking group sinalihan mo? pwede pa ba sumali?   may camping bag na kasi ako sa conquer ko nabili halos three years and counting na din siya sakin although hindi ko masyado nagagamit pero yung friend ko na mountaineer eh yun talaga recommend niya sakin

^^ sis check out Bombproof gear in Galleria, there are hiking packs thatre worth 2K and below na 40L capacity na. And they have nice trekking pants for ladies too. The fit is way better compared to the ones from Sandugo. Less than a thousand pesos for a good pair with suitable fabric so that's a great catch already.

be extra careful mga sis sa pag-akyat, have you heard the news about Victor Ayson, a mountaineer who died at Mt Maculot rockies. Solo siya umakyat, though unclear padin kung ano ang nangyari.

Nasa bucket list ko padin ang mountain climbing pero wala pang lakas ng loob. target ko this year or next year.

[summerscent]

yes, kahapon lang na retrieve yung body nya sa rockies.

[shegothim]

nalungkot talaga ako sa balitang yan. kahit di ko sya kilala medyo affected ako kasi gusto ko ring umakyat ng bundok at mahilig din akong magpicture. sana nga lang wala talagang foul play pero wala ang mga cam nya nung nakuha ang katawan nya. nalungkot din ako sa post ng isa siguro sa parents nya na isipin na lang daw na umaakyat lang ang anak nya at kumukuha ng pic.

The last post here is really sad.

But are there any upcoming climbs? I want to join
