Breakfast at your local “carinderia” (equivalent to a house porch or frontage converted into a canteen by setting up a serving counter, portable tables and chairs) is probably the best and most convenient. Just walk down the main road, point to your preferred viand, and sit where there is space. If your preferred dish is not part of the daily fare, you can prearrange a menu by giving instructions the night before. Whichever way, meals range from PHP 40– 70.

If you prefer a simple cup of coffee and pastry, catch the delivery van of bread that passes early in the morning, or try the “puto” (local rice cake) sold down the highway heading to the crag.

Later in the day, other food options are available on the main road. Food stands are set up, serving grilled hotdog, pork barbecue, “isaw” (barbecued chicken intestines) and other barbecued chicken innards. These are all recommended and worth a try.

For accommodation, there are 2 options, The best being Aling Glenda guest house (ask for Aling Julie, or make contact with Cebu Climbing Community or Gretchen Yagonia on FB to book) is the climbers’ top pick. It has its own shower, dining area and refrigerator, a very nice porch to hang out on, and can accommodate a group as large as 10 to 12. Alternatively, there are 4–5 smaller rooms to the side of the house. Each room has an electric fan and is good for 3–4 persons, with a common outhouse/shower. 150P per night and they can cook at about 80P per meal, good food.

The other option is Spring Park Resort although reports are mixed, with some rooms good, some bad and very average food for 500P per night, but it does have a pool that if clean can be used. A good rest day activity if you say elsewhere,

Sometimes, even local residents take in visitors. This usually happens when there is a big number of climbers coming in for rock trips (late October to early November). Except for Spring Park, a night’s stay in any one of the places costs PHP 150. A night at Spring Park can cost up to PHP 1,000 depending on the room.
