My first climb was in Mt. Palay-palay , or popularly known as Pico De Loro. This mountain is located in Ternate, Cavite (2-3 hrs travel from Manila) It was just actually a fun climb with friends and other peeps from Marinduque who are already climbing mountains for years already.
The meet up was in coastal terminal bound for Ternate Cavite. Some of the faces in this pic are new to me. But they are happy people so i felt comfy na din.
Hindi ko na maalala kung anong oras kmi dumating ng Ternate cguro mga near 6pm na din. Which is okay naman because it's a night trek. after a bus ride, it's a trike away from DENR (jump off). The registration fee is 20php. Mixed emotions pa ako 'nun kasi d ko alam kun baka bumigay ang tuhod ko haha! It almost did, actually. First twenty minutes of the trekking were tolerable and i can still ride on their jokes pa but after that naramdaman ko na namamanhid yung legs ko natahimik na ako haha. So I did an unprofessional self massage, (choss!) good thing nawala :)
Along the trail, we met other mountaineers who did a dayhike and now are descending back to jump off. Na amaze ako kasi napaka approachable nila, greeting you "ingat sir, ingat mam" and i also learned some mountaineering terms. :)
reached the summit at past 10pm. pitched tents, cooked dinner and did the socials! the girl beside me is my friend and tent mate grace.
woke up early to ascend to the summit.
summit pic! Phil. flag
The monolith. natakot ako kaya di ako naka punta. Sayang :( but there's always a next time pa naman. Sabi nga nila, "The mountain will always be there".
We descended at exactly I-cant-remember but here's our fresh na pic after a long trek
Ang ganda. Yung pagod mo. mababawi sa ganda ng kalikasan. Maiintindihan mo kung bakit namumundok ang iilan. Ibang kasiyahan ang nabibigay sayo kapag nasa summit kana. Maiintindihan mo 'to pag naranasan mo. Ito yung experience na hindi maiintindihan ng iba. Mahirap ipaliwanag ang kasiyahang nararamdaman na tanging ikaw at iba pang namumundok ang nakakaramdam.
