TropangKubaw started in the early 90's with a group of mountaineers, rock jocks and cavers who gathered at the present headquarters of the club, to share experiences in the great outdoors. Equipped with lots of guts and strength (well, some!), they became known for their contributions to the extreme side of vertical sports. The group is composed of individuals from the different outdoor organizations all over the Philippines. They share the same interest in extreme outdoor activities not limited to Backpacking and Trekking. Considered by some people only as a "hobby" when there's no mountain to climb, the sport of Rock Climbing and Caving requires strength, attitude, sound judgement and technical skills. Some of the members are presently active as climbing instructors (both indoor and outdoor); caving instructors, cave explorers and guides.
Our objective is to promote the sport of rock climbing and caving to individuals who want to push their limits, as well as to encourage environmental conciousness among them. Still, safety has to come first. We believe that safety is a marriage of solid technical skills and creative imagination. Every one in this group is bound by the rule: Know your yourself, know your partner's habits, know your gear, know your responsibility and know how to climb safely. This group is intended for the selected few.
