Enjoy each climb and have fun in the trail.
That was my thinking for Climbing every mountain, a mind set i had set for myself when i started mountaineering. Along with climbing partner Jackie ( my adventure/climbing / kumare buddy) , Mam Nyrene and Sir Jc, I set out on what would be one of the most physically challenging adventure after a long time.
From the beginning, our speedy paced climb toward each stations in Maculot was painfully strenuous and it didn’t help that we have to stop for 1 hour on every station for a long break.
Short, and difficult, was the climb to Maculot .With careful negotiation and navigation through the Rockies of maculot i was blessed with a scenic view of the whole Taal Lake including the world famous Taal volcano. Awestruck by the spectacle of Rockies of maculot, i found myself in the middle of the bolders and high cliffs.Mesmerized, i turned to witness the beauty of Taal slowly appearing then breaking away and disappearing because of heavy fog.
The reason why I wanted to go back in Maculot is its majestic view from the Rockies. And, Maculot has plenty to offer beyond the Rockies, from the campsite, one can continue to the peak and the Grotto on the other side of the mountain.
Mt. Maculot is a very nice climb, and its popularity is understandable in Mountaineering Community. This is one of my highly recommended dayhikes Near Metro Manila.
