#mount batulao

[dyaaaaames-blog]

I survived Mt. Batulao! Can't even imagine how I managed to go up on its peak and go back to its feet. It may look simple but don't be fooled! I just wasn't able to take pictures of mine during the assualt but that was breathtaking. Aside from the wonderful views of different mountain formations, Mt. Talamitam in the other side, the green fields of Nasugbu and some sightings of other Batangas' provinces, the climb really took my breath away. That was truly an amazing experience, just one wrong move you'll be leaving earth soon hehehe 🤣. I don't know if this is really for beginners, I meant the rocky ascend to the peak is truly an adrenaline rush moments added the scorching hot weather during our climb. We decided to take old trail first then the new trail on our descend as I researched that it is shorter and at the same time, easier path but I don't think it is. There are very steep descend paths that you really need to cautious about as you are still walking on the edge of the mountain. It was hot and humid Sunday, for those who would like to experience it also try to wear hiker shoes as possible. The trail is slippery due to sands and stones since it is summer season. Have to make sure you are fit enough as there will be alot of balancing, focusing and almost rock climbing to be done. But the peak is worth the climb, you will almost see the whole of Batangas. It is such a wonderful place to see other mountains, fields and other places in Batangas such as their industrial sites. You can also see part of Taal Lake and Mt. Maculot. Worth my sunburn! Hehehehe 🤣 I'm lucky enough to be able to experience this, it is somehow a breath of fresh air to be with nature. Just exploring and enjoying the wonders of God. My 3rd mountain hiked and hopefully not the last.

THE JOSHUA TREE

(CAMP 7, MT. BATULAO, NASUGBU, BATANGAS. 01.15.15)

My first post in several months!!!

Yep, the MonochromAddict is back. :)

There is the ecstasy that brings me close to things that look so far. 

My climbs always have this last minute notice; I thought it really takes a lot of guts to push through going out of your limits. 2 years after I am back, rediscovering Mount Batulao. With a different set of friends, with the unknown excitement that awaits us.

I was supposed to join Joe’s Pico de Loro climb a month ago but had prior commitments. This time when he invited me, I said yes and glad that I did.

The several peaks before reaching the summit helped my group discover their fear of heights and actually encountering them. Some are going down from camping overnight, maybe next time I told myself.  Others are training for the November Clark Miyamit Falls Trail Ultramarathon, this is a great day.

It was about 4-5 kms. from where we started when we reached the 12th peak. It was 10am just like before, I find myself at the summit.

For a first timer, our group was amazing. We were actually on time with our pace, and we reached the summit with high spirits.

Now going down is a discovery for all of us because we are going to the old trail. The new trail was where we started, the old trail offered us rappelling, more descents and challenges.

From PinoyMountaineer.com

And we thought we were done!

Going down has proven a chapter can be started. There were memories that need replacing and it meant experiencing things in an another way. As we were headed home going through the old trail, with a stomach full from having lunch at the summit, it felt like we were just about to start our hike because just meters away we have to rappel. It was my first time and with the rest of group’s obvious fear I didn’t want to show my nerves. As the runner and the member who usually works out, I felt I didn’t have the right to say I’m worried. This group has gotten the positive spirit, it’s a shame I didn’t join them in Pico de Loro before.

After that descent, we rested several times and you know what I really enjoyed about Batulao other than the experience of trekking? It’s Mountain Dew, fresh buko juice, halo-halo and ice cream. Add the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks!

I felt proud going out with this bunch! If I won’t be back here, for sure I will go somewhere with these guys going up and reach other heights!

Thanks to Mizuno Philippines for my Wave Ascend 8 and my shirt. Review of the Mizuno Wave Ascend 8 soon after another hike.
