It was a great sunny day that my mountaineering friends are bored and have no idea how to spend the day so exciting, we just talk for a while then we plan to go to moal boal.

Moal boal it famous with is beaches and one of the greatest diving spot here in the Philippines. But we are not planning to go diving, but rather we want to climb mountains their in Moal Boal. So we pack our gears and then we go. They say that there are a lot of mountains in moalboal that is not yet discovered, so what we have plan in our mountaineering adventure is to discover one mountain.

The good thing about our trail is that there is a river, so is not hard to trek, we spent hours in our trekking until we reach the top. It’s relaxing and beautiful to see the landscape of the city. We have fun in our mountaineering adventure. We rest for the day and ready for another mountaineering adventure tomorrow.

We are tried in our journey that morning so we decide to go to the beaches on moalboal. Our Mountaineering adventure is over but the adventure isn’t, we go to the beach and I said before that moalboal is famous diving spot in philppines because of the fishes and corals you found.

Month Of The Mountain The Hills Are Alive Mt. Canlaon

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.

Mt Kalatungan Mountaineering adventure

Another Mountaineering adventure I will share to you today. This came from my mountaineering friends they share to me their experience in the mountaineering adventure in Mt. Kalatungan.

Mt Kalatungan usually called a Natural Park is located in Province of Bukidnon a 39,802 hectares and 24,802 hectares are within strict protection zone or forest and 14,000 hectares is within the buffer zone or open space. Mt Kalatungan has an elevation of 2,500-2,824 meters above sea level

It’s a great experience and a memorable one if you go to Mt Kalatungan because of its steep trail and a thick forest that has all the wild insects and plants that you will find and the freezing cold weather, I suggest you will bring a thick jacket to make your body warm. My mountaineering friends said that it is so challenging because you can’t predict the weather and the trails are too small to trek.

When they reach the summit they were overwhelmed by what they saw, the nice view that a Mt Kalatungan can offer the breathe taking clouds and sky that are so near that you can reach it..

Mountaineering adventures I will experience if I go to Mt. Kalatungan, my mountaineering friends are planning to go there because is a worth to go there the second time around.

Mt. Timpoong

When you say exploring volcano is a great mountaineering adventure I would agree to that. My experience in Mt. Canlaon is so great it’s a memorable experience. There is a place in Philippines that are surrounded by active and non active volcanoes and that place is in Camiguin Island (The Island of Fire). Camiguin is famous on its beaches, spring, mountains and especially volcanos.

Camiguin Island is also called ( The Island of Fire) because there are a lot of volcanos exist. There are also quite a number of smaller volcanic domes and parasitic cones such as Mt. Carling, Mt. Tibane and Piyakong Hill at the flanks of Mt. Hibok-Hibok, Campana Hill, Minokol Hill and the Tres Marias Hill at the flanks of Mt. Mambajao. Mt. Hibok-Hibok is an active volcano. Other volcanoes remain in active due to the agents of weathering and erosion and the formation of deep and long gullies on its slopes.

The highest peak in the island is Mt. Timpoong which rises 1,580 meters/5,184 feet ASL. Mt. Mambajao stands 1,420 meters/4,659 feet and Mt. Hibok-Hibok rises 1,240 meters/4,068 feet ASL. Not only is Mt. Mambajao the tallest, it is also the biggest volcano in the island. Because of the island's volcanic form, several hot sulfur springs and geothermal vents exists.

THIS PLACE IS PERFECT FOR MOUNTAINEERING ADVENTURES FOR MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS FROM DIFFERENT MOUNTAINEERING CLUBS. YOU CANNOT EXPECT WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN YOU CLIMB TO ALL THE MOUNTAINS HERE IN CAMIGUIN ISLAND PHILIPPINES.

Mt. Naduyan

Mt. Naduyan another mountain discovery by one of my mountaineering friend from a well known mountaineering clubs here in Cebu Philippines. They say the mountain has it own beauty that a mountaineer will fall in love by its magnificent landscape with a 2560m above sea level surely you will be WOW on want you see at the top.

Mt. Naduyan Measures 2560m ASL, also the South side towering range with its suicidal cliffs and mystery you can’t be so careless on your trek. Regard to be the one of toughest mountain range in Kitanglad Natural Park according to Higaonon Tribes, KGV-Libona and White Flag Bolo Battalion Warriors. They are the locals who are guarding the mountains so it will be manipulated by uneducated people with no respect to the nature.

The Higaonon tribes believed that Mt. Naduyan is also Nabis ha Agbibilin's brother to Mt. Nanluyaw and also the sacred ground of Higaonon tribes in South side of the MKRNP.

There are a few who conquered the peaks of Mt Naduyan so if you plan to trek the mountain, just be ready of what to come in your expedition.

MOUNTAINEERS ROCK ON!

Mt. Agad-Agad

Mount Agad-Agad is a mountain Located in Iligan City, Philippines which has an estimated height 1,600 feet above sea level. It affords a full view of Iligan City by night or day, ideal for the adventurous type, climbers and mountaineers. January to March is where many mountaineers from different mountaineering clubs go to Mount Agad-Agad because it is the time that the weather is great and you will see the beautiful scenery that the mountain can offer. During the night you will see countless star and shooting stars at the top so relaxing with the cool breeze of wind that surrounds your body. With or without mountaineering experience can climb to Mount Agad-Agad, after few hours of sweat you can reach the top easily if you have the attitude of a mountaineer that so cold "never give up" and just do it!".



The first half of the trek is nothing but a walk on rolling terrain. The fun begins on the second half, when the knees meet the chin, as those "who've been there" would say. At the peak, the panoramic overlooking view of Iligan City and Mt. Malindang in Misamis Occidental right across Iligan Bay is a spectacle. But wait till evening when the city lights look like the reflection of the stars.

Mount Agad-Agad is very accessible and is good for mountain climbers and overnight campings. A small waterfall is featured on the way to the top of the mountain.

Mt Kitanglad Bukidnon
