The Ascent of Mount Halcon, Mindoro (Classic Reprint)
Author: Elmer Drew Merrill
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780282701338
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Excerpt from The Ascent of Mount Halcon, Mindoro By Emma D. Manama. (from the botanical section of the Biological Laboratory, Bureau of Science.) The Philippine Archipelago is essentially mountainous. Many of the high peaks have been ascended by white men, although accurate accounts as to when, by whom and under what circumstances the explo rations were made are to be found in but few instances. On making local inquiries in regard to the ascent of mountains one usually hears vague rumors of previous attempts to climb them, entailing great difficulties, privations and not infrequently loss of life. Usually, however, it is quite impossible to verify many of these rumors for, as a rule, natives living in the vicinity of the mountains have very little information regarding them. And because of prevailing superstitions it frequently is difficult to induce them to accompany a party when the known object of the expedition is to ascend a high mountain. Mountain climbing in the Tropics, especially in such tropical coun tries as the Philippines, can scarcely be classed as a sport, and here as in other parts of Malaya, the higher mountains have usually not been ascended by persons for the pure love of mountain climbing, but by those who have had some special object in view, such as the study of the fauna, flora or geology of the region. In other words, the high peaks of the Philippines, as in the Malayan region generally, have been ascended mostly for what was to be secured on them.
