Some Photos Taken

Still at the easy part... |
Then suddenly, where's the right path?! |
At the foot of Mt. Babatibat |
Time to buy a new short? I wonder if "momoland" was able to fix the mess |
Finding the Gorilla on an open trail. One wrong move and you will surely have your gate pass to eternal rest |
The Gorilla Peak. Oh! Wait a minute! We were not informed that there are 2 peaks! Which is which?! Hi Darwin and thanks for your kind assistance to the slow pacers :D |
Down to the River! I can read your mind Darwin! Darwin inner mind: "Tae ka! nakukuha mo pang magpicture ang bagal bagal mo bilisan mo dyan!". Am I right? :P |
Crossing the river |

Now show me that 20 minutes! |

The campsite can accommodate 3 tents and 2 tarp shelter. It's not ideal for a mass climb. Good for us that we were the only group who climb that day |
The night socials |
