Travel Guide to Mt. Maculot - The Rockies

For my 22 years of existence I’ve learned three major things in life, FORGIVE, FORGET and MOVE ONE. Sometimes, people that you’d know can’t hurt and judge you, will do so. That’s actually the most painful thing in the world that you couldn’t imagine will happen. And since they’d been the most important part of your life you can’t do nothing but to FORGIVE. And the most right thing next thing to…

Feb Ender: Mt. Maculot Traverse 2/2

By around 12 NN, we reached the summit. We stayed for a while to enjoy the pleasure of resting and eating a few snacks. After all that preparation, we started to descend. 

Descending was thought to be much easier but we were tired and our knees started to get weak so, we had a rough time. Good thing, Kuya Pepe carried my backpack. Of course, I was hesitant to ask him a favor but I would get injured if I kept carrying that heavy backpack of mine. Besides, Kuya Pepe quite insisted and told me that it was way lighter than the ones he already brought (his own, not from other hikers). 

A little story about Kuya Pepe. 

His real name is Christopher and he is a newbie when it comes to guiding hikers. He have climbed a lot of mountains already including Mt. Pulag, I think. He told us that he could hike Mt. Maculot for 30 minutes up to the summit and descend for 15-30 minutes. I don't know what kind of bones he had but it's impressive. I believed him because he's fit and his shoes were made for hiking. He said he took basic photography classes aside from training in Philippine Red Cross. He told us what and what not to eat in the mountain, the importance of helping one another and other sorts. We forgot to ask why the mountain was named "Maculot", though. 

Complete cast!

The edible wild strawberry

As we descended, there were paths that required rappelling. This was taken at the first path which was less steep.

I learned rappelling from my P.E. class back in college. So, I found this activity fun and thrilling! After several years, I finally got to use what I learned from school! Yay!

While Sam and Elai were rappelling down, I waited at the top and asked Kuya Pepe to take a photo of me. Hehe.

Then, he took a photo of me while really doing the thing. Lol.

This was the path where we needed to crawl really down low.

That mutual feeling of exhaustion. We decided to stop for a while at the edge of the mountain!

Feet on the edge.

Passed by the Grotto before finally reaching the finish line! Photo courtesy of seventhousandstars.

Smiling through the pain. *Physical pain*

Looking back on what we just hiked. What a satisfying feeling!

After 8 hours, we finally got back to the jump-off, me with sore thighs, Elai with emotionless face and Sam with torn shoes. We took a tricycle going back to the jump-off. After resting, we took a bath. Yes, there were restrooms you can use to take a bath for PHP10.

We're supposed to head to the nearest "Bulalo" carinderia afterwards but we failed to find one. So, we ended up eating Lomi and Chami, still local delicacies. We headed back home by riding a bus going to Buendia. We were lucky to spot one while waiting outside the eatery. I arrived home safely and with complete and tired body parts.

Budget: PHP1000/head

Fare

Buendia to Tambo Exit: P126

‘Til the next adventure! ;)

My Amateur shots in Cuenca, Batangas

Sometime in February last year, I stayed at a house of a former flame. He let me borrow his Nikon D5000 SLR camera and told me to try it out. At first, I was hesitant to do it because I thought I was a newbie who only had training with my trusty Sony digicam haha! Well, anyway…
