Tapulao Traverse


Mt Tapulao peak. After 3 days 2 nights.. :D


When I saw the video Mayk made for our Tapulao, the memories returned. All the hardships gone replaced by the reality that we made it through the toughest mountain yet. Hey we made it!!!

River crossing nth time

Four days and three nights in the mountains (we crossed three mountains) that made our parents ground some of us for the next months or so. We thought we can make it in three days but the fact that the course made us cross a river almost 10 times, walked a minimum of 9 hours a day, endured bruises and cuts, faced the HEAT of the sun and had a little supply of food and water, all I did was thank GOD we were safe.

Relaxing

Now this is no joke.

This climb made me reach my boiling point, Almost made me cry. Almost took the best out of me. Almost drained me of the last energy reserves I had inside my body.

We had to sit to go down the 70 deg slope

But this climb showed me the best in everybody. I saw how each one in the team cared for one another. I saw how tight our bond was. I saw that through good times and bad times the team will always be there sharing your pain, sharing your sadness, sharing your sorrow and of course sharing your happiness. And these made us strong, made us move on, made us want to fight back and made us realize this was just a piece of cake.

I never had time to compose a blog out of this adventure because I never had time to digest everything. I never knew how to start. All the memories came to me like fragments. Piece by piece. Giving me at times pain, but most of it laughters.^_^

Guys let me just put some pictures of the trip. I think everybody can interpret how happy we were and how fulfilling this trip made us.
