Mt. Makiling Traverse

July 2- 3 , 2011 (with the Juxtapoz Pup Mountaineers)
from Sto. Tomas, Bats to Palanggana trail till campsite @ Melkas Ridge on Day 1,
Day 2 on Peak 2 traverse to Peak 3 down to UP at Los Baños to visit the famous Mudspring

All i remember on this Mak-Trav is the famous limatik who enter my eyes. But before that limatik story , let me tell how great experience we had in this kind of traverse.

 

From Sto. Tomas public market where our meeting place , down to  Pamahalaang Barangay of San Bartolome , we pay P20 for the registration. Total of 5 me and Bheng with Marvin , Rob and Joey.

That's it at my back, the mountain view were going to conquer . Medyo muddy as per locals umulan daw kasi the last night.

Then the trail start, walang sinayang na magandang view, dapat lahat may capture.

And the night comes , time for socials. Chikahan to intoduce ourselves because this my first time i met the team, even first time ...sobrang gaan ng luob ko sa kanila...it is right to call them KAPATID kasi i never felt na iba ako sa kanila.

" Good Morning... Melkas " makapal ang fog so nai-magine niyo na rin kung ganu kalamig the past night , nag chill lang naman ako at kainis pa...umulan din nung gabing un...grabeh talaga.

2nd Day  !!!!!
ready na ulit .... off course need to have pix before the 2nd day assault begin.

Rope session at Melkas Ridge.

 

Joey at my back ..... ganda ng view medyo makapal pa nga lang ang fog maaga pa kasi.

Weel obviously ... mga dugyot na.... kaw ng madulas sa putika at kumapit sa baging .
How worst this dulas moment  salamat sa baging kung hindi ..... at hindi lang may ligaw moment pa.....

 Eto na yun, this pic ngalngal na ako because that limatik enter on my eyes , niloloko pa ko nila bheng but the thruth is, takot na tako na ako. But i ignore muna kasi pupunta pa kam i sa "Muspring"

Nadaanan pa namin itong "Agila Base"

 

And were here . "The Famous Mudspring" . an in-active volcano inside the Mt. Makiling,

Ayos na ayos "sa pag-aagaw ng liwanag at dilim" lakad takbo ang eksena dito" kahit may tinik ako sa paa go pa din. 

 Eto po siya , yung little one na pumasok sa  mata ko . Na nakuha ng hub ko using tweezer.
Haizt after that , dinikdik ko siya sobrang gigil ko... kala mu ha ...
