Ilog, Negros Occidental | Sports Climbing Potential

Ilog is less than three hours by bus from Bacolod City.

The crag is about 5km from the highway. The terrain to the crag is unpaved but flat. Nothing technical.

The approach to the crag is between a hut and a small field of sugar cane. It's easy to ask for directions because there are houses in the area.

There are potential for routes from 5a to high sevens. There's also a possible multi-pitch.

Some of the lines are around 12 meters long while there's a long stretch of white rock about 18 meters high (possibly taller).

The belay area of the headwall is clear but the path going there is overgrown. It's better to bring one of those snippy-snappy gardening tools.

The path is also covered with fallen trees. Please be aware that the trunks can crumble under human weight.

There's a west-facing crag that I didn't have a change to explore. These photos are from the part of the crag that faces north.
