akyat - backpacking/mountaineering (thread 2)

[OUTandAWAY]

ingat sa mga may akyat. mami-miss ko ang outdoor activity na 'to..

[OD]

@tata: there is such a thing as thermal underwear? what kind of material is it made of and how much sis?

[tata]

^yes sis.

it's usually made of fleece. around 1000+ sis yung nakita ko sa marks and spencer. meron din sa ghills

=)

[sarsingkit]

the ones in greenhills (as far as i know and those that ive seen) are made of polyester or poly-cotton, resembles a normal leggings but you can feel the thickness of the fabric and hindi nagsi-see through yung hands mo if you try to stretch it. fleece is very much apt for cold weather but you might want to have fleece materials in your blanket, socks and gloves. some fleece kasi specially new ones might shed some lints and you dont want that in your singit and be sweaty (since nakakapawis din ang paghike even i cold temperature)  and hassle ang fleece sa ulan.

[tata]

^thanks for the tip sis!!! am really learning a lot here. in two weeks na ang climb namin. am so excited!

[sarsingkit]

^DIY ba kayo sis or may sasalihan kayong group?

[jillnotchill]

^ako sis twice na akong nakaayat ng mt. ugo mas maganda kung magtatraverse kayo. 

[sarsingkit]

^how is it sis? steep trail ba or parang ambangeg trail lang? yung temperature, kamusta? 

[jillnotchill]

^ sis, mas mahirap to kesa sa ambangeg trail at mas mahaba. yung temperature malamig din siya pero mas malamig sa pulag. kelan akyat mo sis? for sure mageenjoy ka talaga dun 

[sarsingkit]

^wala pa sis. pero gusto ko. some says maganda yung view sa trails. may porters din ba dun? ang bigat kasi ng tent 

[jillnotchill]

^magaganda talaga sis yung view dun dami pine trees, parang nasa ibang bansa ka. hehe.
