Ascended from Aripo village. Route started in the heights of Aripo near the Humming Bird Sancturary. A series of trails tha link together passing the trails to Big Cave and little Cave took ascended a series of steps through a cliff system ( barely seen in the thick forest ) to the main dividing ridge between Gunapo and Aripo (North South). The vegetation changed to upper montanne and the clouds rolled through as we came to the summit. A Trinidad and Tobago flag and a Surveyors stone were at the top.
