#403 - At Mount Stone Sword or Espadang Bato.
Good day mt fellow Hiveans. Yesterday my wife and I decided to go outside the city and have a quick climb since she was on leave. Our destination is just a few kilometers away from the city. We woke up at four in the morning and rode a jeepney going to Montalban. We arrived at our destination around five and also waited for a guide to be provided by the barangay. Then we head out before the day breaks, our hike to this mountain was fast. We got to the summit at around eight in the morning and the clouds were out too covering the sunlight which is good for us so we won't be exposed to the heat.
Then we ate some eggs and some protein bars and also drank some water while we wait for our turn to get to the top of this huge pointed rock formation which people wanted to experience sitting on top of it. After about an hour of waiting in line we finally got our chance and the guide who is also taking the picture doesn't seems to be exposed using cameras so I asked my wife to lend her phone instead of my Lumix and here are our shots. The Lumix could have been better in quality but the guide said he is not fully knowledgeable about it.
Me and my wife together at the rock formation. The wind is strong up there too.😅
The guide asked her to stand as well while she holds on to a wooden branch which was installed up there.
This was my turn to seat at the very top. Then I also raised the wood as if I am an archer aiming at someone in the air.😁
Lastly, our guide also has learned about this technique where he used his phone to add reflection of the clouds. Now I know the reason why he didn't have time learning to properly use camera and instead opted to use phone cameras. More shots to follow.
