This is our revenge climb here in Mt. Tapulao , Salamat sa parang hindi makatotohanang sukat ng KM sign.(which is actually stressful dahil ito pagbabasehan mo ng oras).
Its actually a Major hike but maraming Mountaineers na ngayon ang inaakyat ito ng Dayhike and some are Motocross riders which is isa sa pinaka hangaan ko dahil sobrang lalaki ng bato (see photo's below) sa trail ay kayang kaya nila paliparin ang mga Enduros nila.
 
(The Rocky Road)
Ilang Mountaineer kaya ang pinahirapan ng Rocky road na ito?
Ilang Sapatos na kaya ang sinira nito?
Ilang tuhod na kaya ang pinalambot nito?
Pero salamat sayo " Rocky road " dahil sayo naging matatag ako at nagkaroon ako ng Pag-asa na sa kabila ng HIRAP ay may kapalit na SARAP.
(View from Campsite of Mt. Tapulao).

A must climb mountain lalong lalo na sa mga nag start palang mag mountain climbing/trekking/hiking dahil masusubukan dito ang endurance ng katawan mo and lalong lalo na ang pasensya mo.
Mababait ang Guides dito and as of now wala pa naman  kaming nababalitaang Negative about sa Bundok na ito.
