After about an hour of long walk we finally reached what we thought was the summit. So we had the mandatory Summit picture. I was skeptical, the summit looked a tad bit different from the one I saw at http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/. Kuya Ryan might have thought the same thing and as if we spoke telepathically, I looked at him and was about to say what I thought, when he blurted out "parang hindi ito yung summit"; we laughed in unison. We continued walking for another 100 meters and reached a dead end, the neighboring house was empty and there was no one nearby we could ask. Feeling dauntless, I surveyed the area and saw a narrow ascent alongside the house. The dog was barking furiously from inside the empty house. I braved the trail and found myself in a cabbage field. I walked purposefully on the cabbage plots, tiptoed on the field until I reached the summit which is a meager islet in the center of the cabbage garden. Finally! We reached the summit at exactly 10:56AM (not bad for a first timer). The view was perfect and from afar, one can see Mt. Timbak and Mt. Pulag and a whole lot of vegetable terraces.
