lantoy climb preparation

at around 6:00 am tomorrow the group will be headed to lantoy. it's a mountain located 10 kilometers inland from argao, a municipality of cebu. this will be my first climb ever and i never thought i was going unprepared until i saw googled pictures of the destination. man, this is serious...

now, what to bring?

toiletries - toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo? (no need), definitely tissue (in case of emergency...you know what i mean)

trail food - asked my sister (who is also tagging along together with her bf) to buy just skyflakes (a local brand of crackers)

bottled water - will buy one on the way to argao

extra clothes - it's always better to sleep clean you know

sun protection cream - thanks clarence for reminding me that i just had something done to my face and so i need it protected.

one cup of rice - obviously... to feed the birds while trekking!

head lamp, tent, food and other important stuff
- thank god we have seasoned climbers going and a friend who has almost everything important.

i guess that would be it. i usually am a light packer so tomorrow i will go as light as i can.

the mantalungon (i think i'm making this up) is a different climb.

i'm uber excited, girl!!!!

argao is one of my must-go-back-to places. ;-)

you know about the roadtrip, right?

JAbbeRed ONiON said...

mantalungon is right. :-) and yes i sure know about the roadtrip. how can i not know?

JAbbeRed ONiON said...

oh no. not mantalungon. i think that's a baranggay in mandaue. manunggal is the name of the mountain that you're talking about.
