2nd Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge

Tudaya Falls, The Princess of Philippine Waterfalls

On the 1st day of a 4 days trek schedule to Mt. Apo me, Lito (my rear guide and cheif cook on every expedition) together with two guest from Hongkong (Leo & Dic) we toke a trip to Tudaya Falls. It is situated on sitio Tudaya, Brgy. Sibulan , Sta Cruz, Davao del Sur.
After around 20 minutes of Habal-habal ride and 45 minutes of trekking downwards following a trail on the side of a cliff, we could hear the thundering roar of a powerful water falling from the sky and mist are everywhere as if it covers the sorounding from the outside world.
When we reach the bottom of the trail, there lies a water fall towering to an estimated hieght of 150 meters producing a powerful drop of water where no one can stand on it and seeing it directly because of the wind as a result of the waterdrop.
Regardless of its powerful drop, the waterfall is so kind to visitors where one can go at the back of its thudering water and have a shower on its smaller drops and also one can appreciate it much if he brings himself a camera for it offers very nice scenic views to photographers.
Due to this qualities, I consider this myself as the "Princess of Philippine water Falls" for its waters discended from the Grand father of Philippine Mountains " Mt. Apo"and I've never seen a waterfall as majestic and mystic as this, in which one should take a visit and see for themselves and be amazed to one Natures Gift to mankind.

Side Trip @ Camp Sabros

After the three exhausting days of Climbing Mt. Apo
with my photography addict guests from EMERSON
NETWORK POWER of Quezon City, we arrived at
Sito Baras, Brgy. Kapatagan of Digos, Davao del Sur.
In this place an Extreme Mountain Resort lies.
The name is Camp Sabros. For us Dabawenyos
it is not new, but for our guest its just likle in
Bagiuo 20 years ago with cottages and resto bar,,,,
since we arrived late in the evening,,,I just say
well wait till morning for you to understand why
I consider it an Extreme Adventure Park.
After we take our dinner in which the
resort serves , me and my buddies had a few
drink of Red Horse Beer together with the
resort owner Mr. Ed Sacdalan who is a nice
person with a high spirit of doing extreme
adventures who shares us ideas about Zip
lines and rappelling. He also planned to put
up the longest zipline in the world. After our chit
chat with the resort owner we call the night
off and return to our cabin. In the cabin since
we were a little bit drunk,, we coud'nt help
ourselves from being quite cause we were
loughing aloud in oun matresses until one of
our guest (Dipper) got pissed-off and thats
when we automatically sleep.
In the morning when I opened the
window, a sight of blue colored flower and lush
green view awakes my spirit and said ,,,,,,are you
ready for another adventure?
Right after breakfast we started ziplining and
other activities,,,,,,,,,see the pics for I don't know
hoew to describe it.......
Aside from the usual zipline and cable car ,
we tried the 400 meter zipline which is very long
and awesome speed which makes you feel fliying
like superman and their newest part of the activity ,,
the hanging zipline going to a treetop flatform and
there you rappel down and hoist back to platform
and zipline again going to the other side so can ride
the cable car going back from your starting point.
All this activites in one day ,,,,,,,,,,,huuu so tiring but
the adrenalin rush is superb....
