Old photos from Mt Kanlaon traverse climb. The trail we took was from La Carlota to Mambucal. Rainy days and muddy trails remind me of this climb. But it was one of the most incredible climbs I experienced. There was this portion where there was almost 45 degrees incline hiking up for hours then in the middle of all this fog a clearing greeted us. As if a sceen from the Shire, manicure green, green grass with landscaped ferns and bushes. It is all natural with a backdrop of mist and thin rain falling in our faces and adding weight to our already heavy packs. The sight of which gave us our second wind to keep on hiking in the rain.
