Why I love climbing mountains

My father asked me why I love climbing mountains. He said it was very exhausting, not a very  safe activity for a lady like me and consumes my savings. 

I laughed as an answer. It is because, he was actually the reason. He influenced me to explore mountains! Back then when I was little, He shared to me his adventures as a hunter back in his earlier days hunting for wild boars in the virgin forest of Isabela and Cagayan Valley. As I listened to him, my fondness for nature grows and I long to be on these places. Now that I had the chance to go, then I decided to set sail and of course come home safely to share my experiences with my family. Here are the mountains so far I have gone through:


Mt. Maculot 03.17.12
Mt. Batulao 08.17.13
Mt. Makiling 04.05.13
Mt. Timbac 12.22.13
Mt. Gulugod-Baboy 06.29.13

I just climb mountains for the surreal bliss I felt everytime I am at the summit. I love the idea that climbing mountains is just like making love, slowly and exhausting but will take you to the peak of the summit. Uh-oh... I encourage you also to climb :) Just try it, especially when you have the time and the resources. Bring your friends with you or your love ones. It will be surely fun!
