Training Climb: Mt. Manalmon, San Miguel, Bulacan
November 26, 2006
My heart was beating fast and I can't sleep. I've also felt this before the orientation climb. Maybe because I'm excited or maybe because I know mountaineering is risky. But still, I'm passionate about my new hobby. The excitement, thrill and fun that I'm experiencing in every climb are priceless!
For the training climb, our trainor, Sir Elmer Cabotage chose Mt. Manalmon. Knowing that it was the place where Mulawin was shoot, doubled the excitement.

I woke up at around 4:00 AM and arrived at the meeting place on time. (Usually I'm late when I have an appointment, but not on this one.) We left PGH at around 7AM and set off to Baliuag Transit to meet the other members. Although we arrived at the bus station 30 minutes before the estimated time of departure (ETD), we still left the bus station 15 minutes late, because we still have to wait for the other group coming from Ortigas.
When we reached Brgy. Kamias, there's a jeepney waiting for us with our 'guide'. We arrived at Brgy. Madlum at around 10:30 AM.
Before we started the climb, our trainor gathered us for a short prayer to ask for His guidance. Teacher Tina, one of my co-trainees, lead the prayer.
Here are some of the pictures at the jump off.
And this is me with our trainor from the Mountaineering Federation of the Philippines, Inc., Mr. Salvador Elmer Cabotage.
