SPI Mountaineering Club
by lakwatserong tatay

Hi guys, once again im inviting any one who want to join. This is the 1st climb of our group for Year 2011, we called this as a fun climb, that will be happening at Mt. Batulao, on dates January 22-23, 2011. This mountain actualy looks different from the usual Philippine Mountains because it resembles the European Alps though a much smaller version. This is due to its tree-less peak covered with cogon grass making it look more like a snow-capped mountain. Climbing also this mountain, is a rewarding experience due to its Taal Lake view, the Batangas province, the South China Sea and the surrounding mountains like Talamitam and Pico de Loro will be definitely rewarding sceneries for all of the climbers.
