summer '09

summer time and it seems the sun is on vacation too.
perfect! unlike many others, i'm enjoying the weather... and hoping it'll last until June.

as usual, mountaineering is at peak during this season. unfortunately, climbing Halcon is still prohibited and its reopening is unclear. considered as the most strenuous mountain in the country, it has been a measure of a certified pinoy mountaineer. to the young bloods out there, aspiring to reach Shaldang... pray hard that it would be open next year!

last night, i finally declined the Guiting-guiting climb invites. it’s been on my list for a long time but i have to accept that i’m not physically (and mentally) prepared and ready to explore G2 for lack of training. running 5K for the last few weekends is not enough to deal with boulders and steep and loose trail. also, i don’t have any major climb since 2003 making my confidence level very low. and my left knee injury, from a bad fall in Banahaw last 2001, is still punishing me. well, see you at Majo’s peak maybe next year.
