thanks for the link of the mission sir Kdon! I can't seem to find the mission earlier, so yeah. I'm still learning this one haha :) yes, I agree. In fact, I still haven't seen a Colasisi that's not in captivity. I hope to see you in the future climbs sir! please let me know if you have a climb, or a birding sortie. I'm still a newbie and I really want to learn from people like you sir
