Description
A lot of the info for many of the area pages comes from Climb Philippines. Climb Philippines Their information is shared on Mountain Project with their permission.
The municipality of Dingle (pronounced as Ding-leh) is located in Iloilo province, an hours flight south of Manila in the Western Visayas. Local mountaineers have been scaling Dingles limestones as early as the 1990s, but it was in early 2000 when development of sport routes heightened. Since then, Dingle has been dubbed as a climbing haven for both hardcore and leisurely climbers because of the variety of grade offerings and the 5-star service (in climbers standards!) extended by locals. Sport climbs range from 5.8 to 5.12.

Permits / Fees / Registration
It is required to get a permit from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as the area is part of the Natural Park. You can pass by the DENR office before hitting the road to the Dingle.
Accommodation and Food
Lodging options are common in the city proper, from cheap pension houses (at P250 per night) to hotels. But to save time, effort and money, we recommend camping at Nautod Wall. You can pitch tents at the bottom of the crags or bivouac under the Left Wall where the overhang reclines to a full roof. There is also access to water for washing up, with a faint spring just 5 minutes down the trail.
For food, best to stock up on provisions while in the City. But for longer camp outs, an option is to pay the local guide to shop and cook meals for you.

Other tips...
Get in touch with local climbers before going to the province to make for a safe and comfortable trip.
Dont hang around the forest-y spots too long. Animal/Insect sightings include: Ink-smearing millipedes, scorpions and 12-inch snakes. Insect repellants come in handy, too.
Wear hiking shoes for the trek as trail rocks are quite sharp and can tear your favorite flip-flops.
