Before I was a stalwart paragon of mountaineering and the epitome of leave no trace, I was a mere mortal who committed vile and horrendous crimes against nature during my early jaunts into the great outdoors.

Hapunang Banoi, Haponang Banoy, or Hapunang Banoy, depending on who you ask, is the last mountain in the Wawa area that I haven’t climbed. So naturally, I organized a climb on the first date available. Thankfully, everything went according to plan and I was able to finish this wonderful mountain.

It’s been long overdue, but finally I was able to have my revenge climb on my mother mountain! My friend organized a hike with her friends and she invited me to go. Since it was Mt. Palay-palay, I couldn’t say no. I’ve already said before that I want to go back to Pico de Loro and finally, the time has come!
