Talamitam, name derive from Talamitam Trees used to grow on the area. Me, Grace, Franz, Justin This is a Sabit Climb. Sabit ako sa group nila Grace. Grace was a former office of mine, matagal na namin plan na umakyat noong nasa previous company pa ako, hindi nga lang mapush thru dahil hindi tumutugma schedule namin noon. She invited me sa akyat na to since matagal na din yong group nya hindi nakakaakyat ng bundok, kaso marami nagbackout kaya we ended up 4 ang natuloy. Grace, Franz, Justin and Me. Hindi ko masyado nadocument ang lakad na to kaya hindi magiging detailed ako.... hehehehe. tinding exposure sa araw Mt. Talamitam is sometimes called Sister mountain of Mt. Batulao dahil sa open-field type na trail. Clue na natin yan na maghanda ng pananga kay haring araw. We took a bus, yung terminal sa may MRT-Taft (Likod ng McDo), bound for Nasugbu, Batangas around 7.30am drop off point is KM 88. We paid 25 pesos each for registration. Since the four of us were new sa Mt. Talamitam, we hired a guide for 300.00. Registration After registration, pinakilala kami nung guide namin kay Sir Ted (caretaker ng Mt. Talamitam). He gave us a short orientation about sa area, on going ang reforestation sa area ang currently there are 800 seedlings planted and needs adequate water supply. What Sir Ted and his group does is, aside sa regular akyat nila para diligan ang mga seedlings, nagrerequest siya sa mga mountaineers na magdala ng water (mineral water na container). Bubutasan niya yung cap (serves as the sprinkler once squeezed) then he let the mountaineers left it sa taas. Nice idea, isn't it?!
