It was Nov. 30, 2013 last year my 1st climb in Mt. Lanaya located in Alergria Cebu. Me and my friends decided to climb on that date since all of us was first timers to climb the mountain I google search any available information to that place. We divided by two groups since we can't fit all in Warrens mini van and decided to meet up in Barangay Legaspi our jump-off point. As we arrived first in Brgy. Legaspi I quickly ask to the locals there if they know somebody to guide us going to Mt. Lanaya. A good local guy ( I forgot his name ) suggest his nephew to be our guide and he also suggest that we leave our van to the Barangay Captain's House for safety purposes.

As we start our trek we all notice the difficulty going up just about the first 15 minutes trek I felt exhausted and decided to hire a local porter to carry my bag.
As we arrived at the buko ( coconut ) station our water supply drop by half and it took us almost 2hrs to reach this place. Our knees are so tired that we felt like quitting the trek.
After our 15 mins break at the buko station we proceed going to campsite.
Trekking to campsite was never been easy to us from the buko station. The assault is very difficult and twice exhausting. You need to be extra careful going up you will encounter thorny branches/vines, loosed soil and rocks.
Mt. Lanaya Peak
Finally we arrived at the campsite at 2pm and it took us almost 4hrs from Brgy. Legaspi. We quickly prepared our lunch since everybody was tired and hungry. After lunch we take a rest and sleep for awhile before we proceed to the summit.
It was 4 pm and started our trek going to the peak its about 10 mins walk from the campsite to reach the peak.
