LOGSAC Reunion Climb set

A reunion climb for the Local Government of Sta. Cruz Adventure Club (LOGSAC) will be staged on September 7-9, 2012 at Mt. Apo using the Sta. Cruz trail, Davao del Sur as part of the celebration of its 5 years of existence. The climb will reunite pioneering and new members of the club since its inception last February 19, 2007. The climb is also expected to achieve the following purposes:

Create awareness on environmental protection. As such, the climb is expected to bring down bulk of garbage from Tinikaran campsites and Mt. Apo summit. This will be conducted with huge physical support from Sibulan Porters Association based in sitio Colan.

Actual practice of Leave No Trace Policy (LNT). Since this climb will be Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC) compliance, all participants will apply the universal outdoor principle of LNT, whereby a zero impact mountaineering should be practiced, re: take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.

Strengthen Club Camaraderie and Friendship. LOGSAC Group has been existing for five years now and we intend to solidify the bond that keep us united for that span of time by doing the things we love most, climbing mountains and doing outdoor adventures.

For five years, we got more than what we expected from our young group. We reached out to help environmental conservation and protection advocacies in Region XI given with our minimal resources.

More or less thirty (30) members will be joining this climb which will also benefit the Colan, Sibulan community as we will be conducting outreach program especially to the Bagobo-Tagabawa dwellers.
