a shot from Mt Manabu, Batangas

This is so far my first climb for this year..... A few text from my IM groupmates led us to this magnificent mountain. Offering a 360 degrees view of the Batangas peninsula, one can't help but marvel at this beautiful scenery.. Indeed, this is one of the most trekked mountain..

Though we had our "less than a day" hike, it was an experience that kicked off a year of mountaineering adventure... A nice chat, a few chuckle from the other trekkers... a good jumpstart for a whole new year of adventure.. Hope to know more mountaineers, more mountain to conquer, more lessons to learn... AND more nature to wonder with this year...
