hi. thanks for dropping by -- and the faith in my ability to put together a book. :D

the climb to snow mountain, by itself, is just less than PHP 15 000. this already includes the fees for the guides, the bus, the permits, and the rent of some equipment we didn't have: crampons, ice axes, sleeping bags, etc. it doesn't include airfare and the extra nights we spent in taiwan.

if you need a guide let me know so i can refer you to ours.

Thanks Ialman. Just in case he doesn't reply, we are actually considering doing the hike ourselves. Do you think that would be advisable? I've read that the Black Forest can be pretty dangerous but we would do it in full sunlight if we were going alone. What do you think?

the black forest could be dangerous if you don't take the necessary precautions. i've read a few blogs where people did the hike on their own, although in the glacial cirque, it could be very tricky because the trail is not marked. it might also even be perilous during really thick snow. also, there's the issue about the permits. you'd need an extra day processing those permits to climb xueshan. but good luck. it will be fun.
