(view of Mt. Sembrano while riding on a local jeepney)My next story is about our climb to Mt. Sembrano. I can't remember what the date but it was back in 2008.
I've been in Mt. Sembrano for several times maybe 5 or 6 times so I'm very familiar with trails and the system of this mountain.
(after we registered to baranggay hall)
Together with Ate Mina, Rex, Roy, Balot, Fryan, Joms, Kai and John we hit the trail around 8 am.
(Manggahan)
We arrive in Manggahan (were the falls is) we decided to cook and eat our lunch there and take a rest before hitting the assault (matarik, mabato at sobrang hirap na trail. bwat hakbang aabot ang tuhod mo sa baba mo).
(first part of assault)
Finally, Narating din namen ang first peak (exhausting). Tanggal ang pagod nmen sa pamatay na view. (hay so relaxing) Picture-picture muna.
(Peak 1)
After resting a few minutes kelangan na namen marating ang summit dahil mag-gagabi na that time so kelangan magmadali. Grassland eto na kame!!!
(Grassland)
Pro sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon puno na pala ang summit. We have no place to fetch our tents. Crowded na at maiingay pa ung mga mountaineers (mountaineer nga ba?) na nakauna sa amen. So nagdecide kame na bumaba ulet at sa peak 1 na lng mgcamp. Grassland eto ulet kame!!!
(pababa ng grassland)
(after kumaen Rock en roll na!!!)Narating namen ang peak 1 mejo madilim na kaya ngmadali n kme mgluto dahil gutom na rin kme at nlatag na ang mga tents.
Mahamog ang gabi at sobrang lamig.....
Good morning Sembrano!!!! hay... nairaos dn ang gabi at nkpgpahinga ng ayos... ready to pack up na...
bagsak ang tuka sa sobrang pagod....
