August 17-19 2012

When I was in Mt. Apo last February 2012, I was thinking of climbing the highest peak in Visayas because I’ve already done climbing the highest mountain in Luzon (Mt. Pulag) and Mindanao (Mt. Apo). I set the Kanla-on climb on August 17-21 2012 then I had purchased my plane ticket three months before the climb. I expected to have more company on climb but only two of us were able to climb. I and Sir Oliver Ocinar agree to done it by 2 days via Mapot  - Masulog/ Mananawin trail.

Mt. Kanlaon is the largest and third most active volcano in the Philippines next to Taal and Mayon. Mt. Kanlaon is a 50-50 chance to climb because it depends on approval of DENR-PENRO. Luckily, the weather was good and there’s no volcanic activity before our climb. Our permit was approved three days before climb and ready for pick up.
