RE: Scaling the Boulders of Mt. Apo - The Highest Mountain in the Philippines

in Mountaineering2 years ago

I so agree with your point about conquering mountains. Usually we use this as an expression whenever we are posting in social media like we have conquered the mountain literally and figuratively. After all, we did not really conquer it but we just reach its peak and then go back down the bottom. Same goes with life situations. But what’s more important is to both climb and fall down gloriously.

How I love the mountain shots. More mountains to climb Kim. Have a great day and take care.

Sort:  

People tend to focus more on the altitude rather than the process to reach that altitude. That's why we say we conquer the mountain when in reality, we conquered our previous limit. How many times I felt like quitting midway, but I just continued moving forward because I didn't have a choice. I agree that it's the same with life. We continue to press on forward because it's the only choice we have. Laban lang.

Thank you! I still have a lot of mountains to climb, but I'm taking it slow because the permits are so expensive. 😅

So true, kim and those thoughts from you are so profound. A lot are focusing on the peak but the process in climbing could either make or press us. And we will know when when are at the summit because it is not crowded anymore. In the end, the reality speaks that climbing a mountain is never for the faint heart.

Let us just enjoy every rise and fall. More mountains to climb and more glorious days ahead. Enjoy climbing Kim. Have a nice time. Take care.

Mauwaw man sad ta sa profound. Char2x lang po. 😅

Heheh. Payts Kim. Way char. Basta mao nato sya, profound.
