​So maybe you're not yet in the Philippines, but we might as well give you a warm welcome, right?

That's the point of this site anyway. We want to make climbing as fun, accessible and safe as it can be to anyone, a climbing newbie or not! And if you're a first time visitor to our country, we've prepared this write-up of what you can expect if you plan on sampling the rock climbing in our tropical islands.

Tara! (Let's go!)

Cantabaco (Cebu) is fun for on-sighting with smooth pockets and large cracks pasted over a clean, “highway”-like surface.
