Mt. Pico de Loro

Ternate, Cavite  664 MASL

Specs: Minor climb Days required 1 to 2 Days

Hours to summit: 2-5 hours

 

A perfect shot by Ms. Gladys when were on top of “Parrots Beak”  of Mt. Pico de Loro with Mavin,Dyok,Ryan,Joel,Ron,Felix,Rose Ann. And Jigen. Til now I can’t imagine I did it , with the help of  Bheng (Rose Ann) who encourage  me to be with her.

 

The group ….we are all 16 , 8 mans and 8 ladies. We all met in Ternate because all of them from Manila, while me and Joel from Laguna. Even 3 and half hours sleep (from 2 to 10 schedule @ office) what I felt is not the effect of puyat but the excitement.

 

We have to drop first here at DENR to register and pay 20 per head , after that a 5 mins walk to the jump-off and now........ ready for the assault.

seen in picture this is just a simple branch of tree but I push my self to up in here , nainspire lang ako kasi sila Marvin at Joel umakyat na.

at  camp 1 after more than 30 mins wak I think,dito na muna nag rest and paid another 20pesos  .

 

along the trail I saw this thing, inisip ko talaga kung anu to ..akala ko nung una ung hamog then I notice "wishing feather" ang alam kong tawag sa dito

 

 

 The first view of mountain , the two summit 

need a break, need a lunch muna before we proceedtosummit,medyo nanghihina na din kasi kaya need na ng charge.

 Slippery part of trail , if your not wearing a proper foot wear , there is a tendency na madulas at gumulong pababa, mabuti na lang at ndyan ang mga boys to assist all girls

 

 Now i found my self at the bottom of the rock and begin to another assault, but this time not in forest but in a tall rock, good thing i wear my AAI jersey shirt kaya kita ako sa pic ;)

 

The rope climbing session , while Marvin lay his hand habang gumagapang ako sa rock   to reach him … and Bheng is next

 

 group shot at the top…sobrang happy kasi after sa  nakakatakot na bangin..grabeh talaga !!!!

It’s babaan time na from peak….as I mention on my fb post, nanakalula sa picture lalu  na sa tunay na buhay.

Even this is my 4^th mountain….this is the most difficult one…..for the “buwis buhay” word.

It is really true , na isang pagkakamali lang …bye-bye worl na.. But as we sing on the top

“We did it … we did it..we did it !!!! hurray!!!!”
