Climb The Highest Mountain


Satisfying life

I joined the group for about 4 years, we have several schedule climb in different places. The most exciting and most memorable I joined was in Mt. Candalaga, Maragusan, Compostela Valley Province. It was a 3 days and 2 nights climb. We started the tricking at 7am from the assembly area up to Camp 1. It was very tired day walking along the river until we reach Camp 1. My shoes were wet for almost 8 hours. We arrived in Camp 1 at around 6pm. On our group we are 3 persons. Few minutes after we arrived we prepare our food for our dinner. For the mountaineers, it’s hard to bring the foods that we normally eat at home.

For your comfort, your back should only contain light foods that are easy to prepare such noodles, bread, some cans of sardines, beef loaf and corned beef. The things you are going to bring depend on the number of days you stay in the mountain. Don’t bring excess items that are not necessary on your climb, it will give your trouble in bringing your back packs. On Day 2, we started walking at around 8am. Then we reach the Peak of the mountain at around 2pm. We stayed about an hour watching the beauty of the nature. Checking some creatures on the surrounding that we can took pictures. Different birds on the tree and flowers on the group. You are not allowed to bring anything from the mountain except your garbage and the photos you took from different scene.

We reached Camp 2 around 9pm. It was already almost late at night and the surrounding was total black out. We have our own flash light to light our way until we reached camp 2. Again, few minutes we prepare our dinner and sleep.

Day 3 – we started the day by walking at around 7am after breakfast. The way back to the origin was so easy and it takes more than 4 hours. We went directly to a resort to stay for about 3 hours before the big night. Every climb has a night of wine and alcohol. During that even, all climbers will receive certificates.
We enjoy the climb and the party. I meet a lot of climbers, from different places and group. Being a mountaineer, you will appreciate the beauty of the nature.

You see different species of trees, flowers, birds and some other things that you can only see them in the mountain. I will climb again to another mountain soon.
