Plan A Climb Via Cyberspace

by C. B. Razon
  1. Start with a clear purpose why you want to climb.  Read PAL MC's "Why Do I Climb?" 
  2. Set  the  destination  to  climb.   Choose initially from the listing of Metropolitan Mountaineering Society list of itineraries. 
  3. Locate the mountain in the map.  NAMRIA guides you.
  4. Complete equipment requirements.  Review PLDT's MC expedition checklist. 
  5. Before you leave, check the weather in Weather News or call Telephone # 813-0679 for daily forecast. 
  6. Climb!  (Cyberspace cannot  do this for you!) 
  7. Complete your climb with a journal.  Read Meralco's Pulag Chronicles. 
  8. If climbing is for you, check out affiliated clubs in Bundok's listing. 
  9. If it really is for you, put up a club.  Trace UPM's club history. 
  10. Be guided by the Wilderness Ethics: 
    • Prepare well. 
    • Respect local practices. 
    • Be conscious of your impact on the wilderness. 
    • Camp well. 
    • Carry down all garbage. 
    • Practice healthy sanitation. 
    • No chemicals on the river for washing yourself and dishes. 
    • No fires. 
    • No smoking.
    • Respect space of others. 
    • Be involved. 
Embrace the new thinking of "Leave No Trace".
