Montelibano Waiting Area


Mt. Cristobal also known as  "Devil's Mountain", -due to its "W" shape as well as creepy secrets and mysteries.

After a trilogy in Batangas, Malipunyo, Manabu and Susong Dalaga. Climb&Dive family chose this place to celebrate Anniversary climb.






Assault

We walked through an uphill, cemented road followed by bushy, forested area.  It took us approximate1 hour before reaching "Montelibano House", where we registered and took our lunch prior to resuming the trek. From here, you can refill water and can use their restroom. Then we turned right and took an uphill way again.
Trekking way up was very tiring of course, but it's really relaxing once you felt the blowing breeze of air coming from somewhere, added by tall trees giving shade and those moisten bark of trees everywhere.

Bulwagan Campsite


We reached the Bulwagan campsite and surprisingly, we saw a lot of "Happy Camper" in the area. We simply looked some space for us to stay.

 During night time - we experience cold weather, I was not prepared that time, my jacket was not enough to regain my body heat.





Zero Visibility at the Summit


Boodle Fight


On the next day, after taking our breakfast, we head the trail that way to summit, After passing the forested area, we went to a trail densed with cogon grass. It was like passing on a grass tunnel, so basically we had to bend down each time until we reached the end up to the summit. Still no clearing for us this time, so we just paused for a moment, took some pictures and decided to descend.



Entering Mall for Dinner

We broke tent quickly and descended until we reached Montelibano House. We had a late boodle fight lunch. Prepared our stuff then head back to Manila.

We reached Manila around 2000H, and decided to take our dinner at Mang Inasal, the funny thing was, we need to enter the Mall, so thet Guard would have to check our Bulky Full Packs. The good thing is, he had a metal detector, so he simply put detector in front of the bag.

Another Successful event Happy Anniversary Climb&Dive Family...
