[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

[OD]

^^ 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

[kalad]

We are going to have a Mt. Sembrano Dayhike Part 2 (Malaya, Pililia, Rizal) this Sunday.  We are going to meet at Edsa Central Crossing McDo at exactly 7am then be back in Manila before evening.  If you are interested, just feel free to send me a message.  You don’t need to bring so much stuff because we are not going to camp out, we are just going to get to the summit, and then descend the mountain after.  The hike jump-off is just 1.5 – 2 hrs away from Edsa Central Crossing.  The mountain can be submitted in less than 3 hrs.  This is again a very easy climb, good for curious and beginner hikers.  We’re already three in the group. Please don't hesitate to hit me up for inquiries.

hi mga sis, we're going to kota kinabalu and aakyat daw kami ng bundok.. just want to know how much ang overnight stay sa laban rata?

[girli3]

^sis naka package na yun. Wala ka ng babayaran once you decide na mag climb with buffet dinner breakfast and lunch. Note when climbing mt. Kinabalu super light pack (almost none)  and bring headlight mag a ascend kasi ng summit ng 2 or 3am

[tough_guy]

may aakyat ba dito sa mt pulag sa aug 24-25? gusto ko sana magjoin hehe long weekend oh

[entwife]

Sama rin ako!

Hi, guys. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message if you are interested to join our Mt. Cristobal (Devil’s Mountain) Hike this weekend.  We are going meet-up in JAC Liner Buendia at exactly 7AM on Saturday (July 13, 2013) and then be back in Manila around 6-7PM of Sunday (July 14, 2013).  Please prepare 500-600 Pesos for total expenses per person.  You need to bring your own food and drinks – good for Lunch, Dinner and 2nd Day Breakfast.  There is no water source in the base camp, manage your own water – 3 to 4 Liters, depending in how you drink under rigorous physical activities.  This is just a minor climb but a very long trek.  We will not even reach the base camp to have lunch, we are going have our lunch while on the trail.  Expect isolated rain showers while hiking, buy a cheap raincoat.  I could lend you a tent if you don’t have one but you need to carry it to the mountain by yourself.  We are going to leave you if you are going to be late.  Thanks.

di daw advisable umakyat ng august pala. maulan daw ang august.

di daw advisable umakyat ng august pala. maulan daw ang august.

okay lang umakyat ng umuulan kahit malakas pa basta wag lang bagyo at inallow din kayo ng locals or management ng mountain.  lahat ng mountain delikado, lahat ng season delikado sa mountaineering, kaya nga may safety measures na dapat i-follow ng mga mountaineers sa pag akyat. 

pero kung beginner ka, tama lang, dapat lang na wag mo muna itry umakyat ng umuulan.
