Pangalawang hike ko na ito at Mt. Maculot yung inakyat ko, worth it naman yung pagod at pawis ko narating ko yung rockies grabe yung view. As in sobrang ganda mawawala yung sakit ng hita, binti at paa mo sa view hahaha!
The Rockies
Sa kabilang view doon sa Rockies, matatanaw mo yung Taal Lake. Hindi ako makatayo ng maayos dyan sa picture na yan eh sa sobrang takot kong tumayo nangangatal na yung mga tuhod ko hahaha! Syempre kinayanan ko sayang naman akyat ko kung hindi ko ittry bumaba dun sa dulo ng bato na yun.
The Summit
We made it! from bottom to top! Syempre pagod ako nyan giting tagumpay lang :D Mas mahaba pa pahinga namin dyan kasi sa sobrang tarik nung inakyat namin ang Summit.
