Zc985

Zc985. This is an image of the approach ways to Mt. Pinatubo from the SW. Fireball and I discussed them and he chose the one I call The No 1 Way. I generated this image in 2011 when we explored the No3 Way. I considered it to risky to enter that long gorge of No3 Way.

Zc987

Zc987. This is a picture of our 1999 trip to Mt. Pinatubo from the SW, the San Marcelino direction. Key to the numbers on the image: 1= Mt. Bagang, 2= Santa Fe, Barrio of San Marcelino which was buried by this Lahar, 3= This is what I call No1 Way to Mt. Pinatubo from the SW,4= when my friend MacK and I came this way in 1999 we chose to come up that way, I don’t remember why, maybe more water was coming from there, 5= That was the end of the line of that valley but we were able to climb up to No 6, No 7 was bare slick rocky knoll and we decided we had to cross it to continue. I chickened out and quit here but my friend Mack continued all the way.

Zc986
