You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.

It looks like you have had some great trips on very differernt mountains than I am used to.
I’m lucky enough to live in the Philippines so I get to climb mountains with beautiful rainforests (at least those which aren’t denuded yet) and grasslands. But it’d be great to explore mountains in the temperate regions as well. Thanks for checking out my blog!
Hi, Kristine, just asking..which among of those peaks is the heighest?
That would be Mt. Dulang-Dulang, the second highest peak in the Philippines at 2,938 meters above sea level. I haven’t been to our country’s highest mountain yet but I hope to change that one of these days. Thanks for dropping by!
I’m a fan!! Lol. Well anyway, I’ve just added G2 and D2K to my bucket list but my group doesn’t want to go with me, yet. If ever they change their minds, in two to three years
, we’ll be using this as a reference. Thanks so much for this and more mountains to climb Ma’am Tin. 
Thanks Roks! Hope you’d get to climb d2k and G2 soon. They’re two of the most beautiful mountains I’ve ever been to. See you around!
Go to Antique! You will love it there, the three mighty mountains of Panay? Supperbb!!
Yeah, I’m also hoping to go there soon. Madjaas is one of my dream climbs. What are the other two mountains?
Mt baloy and mt nangtud. Best climb madia-as 1st
mt. pulag , one of the stunning mountain in the phils.
Haven’t been there yet, sadly.
Wow..Mam Tin, dami nyo na din po naakyat, di ko pa po naakyat ang G2 at Kanlaon, their on my list
lalo na yung G2
Sana maakyat mo yun mam. Ang gaganda ng mga bundok na ‘yon, mga gusto kong balikan talaga.
Toinks, Mam Rona ikaw pala yan! Haha! Nagba-blog ka rin pala. Ayos!

Ilabas ang likas na pagkasira-ulo sa pagsusulat ng blog. It turns out eh bentang-benta pala ‘yon sa mga tao for some reason. Hehehe.

Great shots Kristine! Only wish they were larger… Laguna waterfall is beautiful! You must visit India if you want to climb higher…and see some awesome places! Take care.
Thanks, Ranjit! I’d love to visit India for climbing! Incidentally, just got an email from another reader yesterday about beautiful hiking spots in southern India that I should check out. I really appreciate the good traffic and feedback I’m getting these days from your part of the world. Thanks so much!
