Waiting for our chance to climb for the peak...

 

The Peak of Mt. Lipata

The actual peak of this mountain is reminding me of Pico de Loro because of it's tower although this cliff is just a 1/4 of Pico de Loro's beak, and this mountain is just considered to be minor, it is really hard to be on top, y0u must have have the skills and experience, because it can cause you severe injuries or maybe death. As Sir Migs, said for our batch maybe by the next time, their group will gonna put some ropes to help the climbers to go to top of this mountain.

Special Concerns:

Please do bring some sleeves/armguards if you want to climb this mountain because, some of the leaves, can cause you itcheness that will last up to few days. Bring also gloves for some minor stone wall cliff climb, and always don't forget to be safe and don't forget the LNT rule.
