"It was a rainy hike. The normally dry, dusty trail transformed into a mud-slicked obstacle course, especially on the steeper sections. The fog dissipated for a few minutes, allowing us to appreciate the view before it got thick again. The infamous Batulao heat was absent due to the rain, and I think this was a good thing because our guide mentioned that someone died from a heatstroke at the summit the day before our hike so I think it was okay that it was raining." — kaloyaganinta • Feb 25, 2024
"Difficulty: 4/9.
Elevation: 811 MASL
Moving time: 1:52:31
Distance: 12.19 KM
Steps: 18,328
Unexpectedly a good hike and good for beginners that would also like to have a little bit of a challenge. When at the summit, it seems that you're at a plateau overlooking the entire area. If you are capable, you can trail run all the way down starting mid way.
This would be my go to mountain when introducing trekking. " — Chok • Mar 26, 2023

"This is my second visit to this mountain, first was a dayhike but this time its an overnight. Encountered foggy and muddy trails because of rain. We werent able to enjoy our socials at campsite because of the rain but the next day weather is good and perfect for summit assault." — peakaholic • Oct 19, 2014
