A new Philippine outdoor company, INTREPID.PH, has announced that they are now offering packages for Mt. Kinabalu, including a Via Ferrata package.

 Centuries ago, the Spaniards aboard their galleons to Manila Bay noticed the form of a giant parrot, perched in the forested mountains in Cavite. They named it "Pico de Loro" - "Parrot's Peak" Today, mountaineers who visit Pico de Loro discover that it is as enchanting as its name. High on Cavite's highest point, they could behold the rocky tower that the Spanish sailors once saw as the parrot's beak, and they could gaze towards South China Sea where the galleons once sailed, all the way to the historic island fort of Corregidor. Gusts of sea breeze reach the peak, refreshing hikers after a four-hour climb. The peak's rocky outcropping is dramatic, and sharply contrasts with the plains of Cavite and the waters of South China Sea.

Presenting the First Annual Climb for Amputees! Mt. Batulao on Nov. 28...Everyone's invited!

How can a minor climb be a major achievement?

PinoyMountaineer.com in cooperation with the Mu Sigma Phi Fraternity in celebration of its Service Month are holding the First Annual Amputees' Climb with the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of PGH. Amputees will be attempting to scale Mt. Batulao on November 28 and we hope that mountaineers will be at hand to assist them. Everyone is invited!

Climbers will assemble at Evercrest on that day. It's up to you if you want to stay overnight but the activity is just one day. This will be a dayhike; the registration fee is P250 inclusive of entrance fee, ID, and souvenir shirt.

If amputees can climb a mountain, what else can they do? And if mountaineers can help them climb a mountain, what else can we do to help them? This climb is all about empowerment - a symbolic act as well as a fun climb. Share the joy of mountaineering with our handicapped brethren and fellow climbers in the momentous climb. By joining the First Annual Climb for Amputees, we can all turn this minor climb into a major achievement. Together, we can reach the top!

We are now releasing the full details of the First Annual Amputees' Climb. To make sure everyone will be arriving at the same time in Mt. Batulao and for a smoother itinerary, we have decided to charter a bus that will carry participants from Manila to Mt. Batulao and back to Manila. The registration fee is now P400 but this is already inclusive of roundtrip transportation, registration and entrance fee, and souvenir shirt. Those who will go straight to Mt. Batulao can still available of the original P250 registration fee.

FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What should I wear/bring?
These are recommendations only:
Wear comfortable and light clothing and a sturdy pair of hiking shoes or sandals
Bring extra shirt, hat, windbreaker, sunblock, camera, plastic bag (to cover stuff in case of rain)Bring packed lunch and trail food, as well as 2 liters of water; basic first aid kit/ meds

2. How difficult is the climb?
Batulao is a Minor Climb, Difficulty 3/9. We will be using the New Trail since it would be more accessible for the amputees.

3. I am a first timer. Can I join the climb?
If amputees can climb, so can you! But please read up on the basics of hiking in PinoyMountaineer; get yourself a good aerobic workout before the climb, and read up on Mt. Batulao in the site also.

4. How are we going to assist the amputees?
Each amputee will be accompanied by a team of hikers. Hikers will be encouraged to help the amputees in challenging parts of the trail, and we hope hikers will interact with the amputees so that we will also gain awareness on the difficulties they face in their daily lives and how they labor to overcome these difficulties.

5. Where will the proceeds of the climb go?
This climb is a non-profit activity; your registration fee will be spent for the transportation, shirt, registration, and climb expenses. Your support will not be financial but moral - a big boost to the amputees in sharing a day of interaction, adventure, and fun.
