###### *Mountain tells you how hard life could be.

This is our first time in MASCAP trilogy but this is not our first time to hike because we also have some trecking. We decided to visit *Mount Espadang Bato Banoi*. ![LRM_EXPORT_20180527_201755.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUs6hEnHoKrB3V7tUVFfNaJ9gFvr3uVJb4GCWnxMmw38f/LRM_EXPORT_20180527_201755.jpg) ![received_1270913263038975.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTTnh5M5WzNUux5zF1LhKJYKK48Bu8LgNbsmpuYxrQHfm/received_1270913263038975.jpeg) *(Brgy. Mascap Jump off)* Espadang Bato Banoi was recently just open this year and Montalban area was known when it comes to a mountain hiking adventures. last year we hiked at Hapunang Banoi Mountain and this years is my first mountain hike again at Espadang Bato Banoi. ![received_1270913236372311.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWmGv81WZJcMuQZkk8HTFvcEcCS2sNVw5Ca7a1GcxnaFm/received_1270913236372311.jpeg) *(we signed for a waiver and pay the tour guide also the entrance fee PHP 150 ($2.87))* This unique rock formation, Espadang Bato is at the other side of Mt. Hapunang Banoi of Brgy. MASCAP, Rodriguez, Rizal. This is my first time in Mascap trilogy. We decided to climb Espadang bato for the sole purpose of standing of top of its "sword" like peak, like one of the photos I saw in the google, however, climbing that peak is so dangerous, and for me it's so hard and difficult, I can't take the risk because I was afraid of heights. ![LRM_EXPORT_20180527_193606.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmem2ZUqrwZfbdTRGNNUvzGPcxWhL7CKm2CghGBRwBFddk/LRM_EXPORT_20180527_193606.jpg) *(I took a picture of my boyfriend because I was afraid to climb the rock)* But I still enjoy the place because I got a lot of photos that I can use in my photography. This is the photos that i took when we are starting to walk around. ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_232233.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW7TMKNRgHFYWpbRYxFeJSHeChU87SMgkpThcZm1xAsAj/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_232233.jpg) ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_231749.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVuEuAjZE2C2Ac2dsSKRSfG9sfFjGiMA91gPKc9EBcYKs/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_231749.jpg) ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_230547.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfNFPHZFU3Brsp4xqABGM8tvfSwSkaDUhupqnUQNJyRDM/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_230547.jpg) ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_231548.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTrmPejco4fpWH7BZjKccQw85WkqdDGVdWAzMysoFTDJd/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_231548.jpg) ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_230436.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcoXyzD5wGcxndPPqfPmT4ydYxoPau6xgF71WWhjNJYLH/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_230436.jpg) *(And these is my friends)* ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_231136.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc8P435J28GaxVtqrQVLQJtEyrEr6bXUwjgeG32RVSwz1/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_231136.jpg) ##### *Ispire, Focus, Motivate, Prioritise.* Travelling is not a competition, It doesn't matter where you go whether it is local or outside the country, as long you enjoy and appreciate the beauty of it. ![LRM_EXPORT_20180521_015407.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZcnm6fV5LcJaFXZaK9XTZgLJTQdPUwVkRe3Am352v3dA/LRM_EXPORT_20180521_015407.jpg)
