Talinis Rehabilitation Drive sponsored by the Cuernos de Negros Mountaineers Club Inc. and in partnership with the Office Vice Governor Jose “Petit” Baldado which aims to rescue and restore Mt. Talinis, one of the Province’s favorite haven for mountaineers and outdoor fanatics.

Meeting up with other climbers at the Capitol area. I and my group are the first to arrived at the meeting venue. Then, it start to arrive more climber Vice Gov. Petit Baldado arrived then give some instructions and picture taking of the climbers.

Traveling from Capitol Area to Bidiao, Dauin at 7 am. Picture taking of all the climbers. Stretching and prayer then start trek. 1st open climb I've join i never thought how nice is the open climb is because i use to go with friends in climbing. And now, kat kat pahiningod 2010 is meeting up with other climber from diffirent City and Municipalities in the province and other group like the rescuer of Negros Oriental.

This photo shows at the open field of Bediao. This is the Bediao - Apolong Traverse. Lake Yagumyum Lunch break then arrived at Lake Nailig 3:30 pm. The Fastest arrival of all the climb i have in Mt. Talinis.

First time time to summit so we never been given a chance for a good clearing. But if we wait we could see the Lake Nailig and the other lake called Lake Malingin behind the ridge of Nailig.

Other climber got a nice clearing less fog but after a second it resume again. This is the 1.9 summit of Mt. Talinis. Here you could see big trees of Mt. Talinis. There were 3 or 4 big tree here.

That lake is the Nailig we could see the camp site and the tent if there were no fogs and also the other lake behind the redge. Lake Malingid no campsite you could only see it at the trail going to lake Nailig.

This is the clean up at the second day. This part of the Nailig were locals camp in they leave there trush here. Under the rocks, bootles of alcohol on the grasses. And the one who found a brief recieve a reward on the socials.

Vandalism on the stone, i can't remember the name printed. Climbers who have not gone the Basic Mountaineering Course surely did this. Even if we're not gone BMC we should know where to put our waste, our trashes. We bring it up, now we leave when it gets empty? No. we should bring it home. Your backpack is your house, It is design to carry things you've saw on the way like garbages. We can attach on it. We could do restart our forest from it natural beauty. If our water shed it polluted were should we get water? What if our forest die, who will control the flood. Nailig will drain to the City. Twin Lake will drain too. So, don't help kill forest! Help forest to live.

Weee!!! The Twin Falls, for those climb i ve climb Mt. Talinis, Kat Kat Pahinungod give me a chance to go over the place where my other Talinis climb never went on. The Summit and the twin falls. 2 hours of staying here doesn't know the the tail or the sweeper of the expedition is waiting for us.

One of the trail in Apolong :D, PNOC is constructing for the water source. Pipe is on our way so we just slide on it. It's like speed racer :D
