New routes were established in the country’s favorite crag, Cantabaco (in Toledo, Cebu) during the bolting project held last July 11 to 25. Though challenged by periodic rains, the hardworking team of Mackie, Simon, Boybi, Jao, Raymond, and Gian was able to put up eight new lines graded 5.8 to 5.12, and having a multi-pitch setup, go up as high as 160 feet.
The new routes are located at the left wall of Cantabaco, which meant plenty of pre-bolting landscaping and cleaning had to be done. While this slowed down the actual bolting process, project lead Mackie says that climbers can still expect more routes to be put up in time for the annual rock trip on end-October.
Even more to look forward to is a newly-spotted rock formation located just 30 minutes from Cantabaco. A large rock face with even more potential for hard climbing than Cantabaco, Mackie is eyeing Lamac, Pinamungahan for his next bolting project.
