Hold on dude

Ooops – I was told that I will be “on my own” for the time-being, so I have to scrap a 15-000$ Carstensz climb! I’ve spent a few hundred $s to buy new hardware and big boots for this climb, but now those have to be stored in my plastic drums to last until the real time comes. If.
Carstensz is relatively simple, yet unbelievably expensive climb due to ‘unique’ and unstable condition in the backcountry of Indonesia. Sometimes, late at night, while listening to the whirr-whirring sound of my electric fan – I thought of convincing myself, that the TRUE highest mountain in the Australian Continent – is Mt. Kosciousko (in Australia). That Carstensz Pyramid is a money challenge more than a climb, that there is no such continent as OCEANEA! We’ll have to find out. If after my 5th (of the 7) summits I still have zero funds, I’ll do Kosciousko to finish 6th. :) Then maybe, the plan to do the 7th (Vinson in Antractica) – will attract supporters and sponsors, so then the 1ST PINOY to bag the seven summits is finally realizing an expensive dream.

LET’S FINISH THESE 7 SUMMITS!!
So we can move on with better adventure challenges ahead - umm, South Pole? hehehe..
