Mt. Puting Bato
2009 January 19
Puting Bato, meaning white stone or rock, was so named beacause of it’s sheer limestone wall. The highest point on Samal Island, and home to many climbing expeditions, Mt. Puting Bato is a popular destination on IGaGoS. Located in Sitio Tayapoc, Brgy. Guilon, Samal District, it stands a towering height of about 1,345 feet (410m) above sea level.
Camping (tulda-tulda) is also available for those that want to stay overnight. I understand it might be best to take a guide for the climb, especially if you are not familiar with the area.
Here’s a nice article with more photos from a fellow that spent some time there last year.
