Trip Notes

*Note that those that are bolded are only trip-specific notes while the others are general notes

-Weather conditions will affect how we go about our trip but as much as possible it will push through. -The mountain summit as well as Camp 2 is a bit bare (if with many people and all the shaded spots are taken), so expect that it may be mainit or very maulan and there will no shade for either conditions so bring umbrella or sunscreen!

-Do bring extra money for personal expenses such as food. -Inform us if you have a medical condition that requires attention in order for us to be prepared beforehand. -Shower rooms are available after the trip

See you! Cheers!
