If you're looking for a weekend adventure, go to the nearby Mataas Crag. But note that this should be done by an expert. Kids are not allowed to copy such activity. Also, Mataas Crag is currently being developed - clearing and bolting is ongoing. If you're looking for an extreme adventure that will boost your personality and help establish teamwork, do not miss joining Albay Climbing Community. The safest way to access is via boat ride from Bacacay or Pili Port. But you can go by land, just take note that you'll pass rough roads. Guide fees can be discussed with Albay Climbing Community.
