In a celebrated Broadway play turned movie, Julie Andrew sings one of the most familiar songs in Hollywood; “The hills are alive to the sound of music.” Now, unless you consider all sound to be music, like minimalist composer, John Cage, music is not exactly what our hills are alive to.
Here, it is the sound of slash and burn agriculture, it is the sound of uncontrolled up-migration and consequently the noise of the motor-cycles, the most available mode of transport there, it is the sound of the construction of expensive neighborhoods and the sound pf everything else but, hardly, music.
But, in 2007 with the celebration of the International year of the Mountain, IYM and the designation of June as the month of the mountain, the international community said that music should, again, belong to the mountains; of watershed protection, of making the mountains contribute more than simple extractive minerals and goods.
Local mountaineering groups are gearing up for appropriate celebrations. Habagat for one has scheduled a Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) for beginner mountaineers or those who just want to update their mountaineering skills.
My mountaineering club tests the wrath of Mt. Canloan. We as a mountaineer help each other for us to be able to reach the summit, and see the beauty that Mt. Canlaon can offer and we had fun and satisfaction for what we have experience. Mountaineering Adventure my never ending journey.
