Kanlaon Volcano - Negros Philippines - The Majestic Climb

March 2011

A group of yuppies and other young men decided to pack up and climb to conquer the majestic Kanlaon Volcano. We starting point was from Canlaon City and then up to the mountains, and then going down to Brgy. Masulog of the same city. The adventure climb was definitely a challenge. The addition of cold and rainy weather made it worse. It took us greater than ourselves to make it through all the obstacles. But in the end, the Volcano also took us to a greater height, to a dream, for an ignited passion - a closer look and feel of the Mother Nature herself.

I will be posting a series of pictures that took place during our climb in several posts. 

Check out our day 1 hike!
