Muscle Zone Outdoors



Muscle Zone Outdoors was founded August of '92 with pioneers: Jason deOcampo (UST Mountaineers), Jon deOcampo (Ayala Mountaineers), Ding dela Cruz (Mzo), Michael Caparas and Cecil Calleja (Mzo), and Jerahmeel Madridano (Mzo).

It began with a trip to Famy Falls in Laguna. We called it "mountaineering", before we were asked by local kids "Are you going for a picnic too?" Dammit it's not even a mountain. To avoid the humiliation... we said yes, with our backpacks almost twice the size of the kids. One of them on flip- flops.
 



Chopseuy Mindoro

A celebration climb at Mt. Halcon, Mindoro was conducted after graduating the MOSART training.
This is when Rhonnel Buenbrazo (MIT Mountaineers), Dennis Bacarro (De Oro Mountain Explorers), Lory Callanta and Leklek Villanueva (PALMMS), Jon DeOcampo and Eric Magno (Mzo) started the existence of Chopseuy Mindoro. A highly developed group of mountain explorers also designed to scale a rock wall and dive deep into the abyss.
Mzo and Chopseuy Mindoro have also successfully reached the highest point of the Philippines, Mt. Apo, in Davao Del Sur. At the same trip, Mt. Hibok-Hibok at Camiguin Island was also scaled. We were informed on our descent that this volcano has been active the whole time we were on it. No wonder while washing by the streambed, the water sogged our balls...perhaps overcooked.
