The high base camp on the West side of Sicaba Diotay Pk was reached by our 3-man party in two days from Barrio Gawahon, the eastern-most barangay of Victorias City, Negros Occidental. Our party utilized the logging road on the Gawahon Northwest Ridge and the spine of Dinamlagan South Ridge to reach the Sicaba Diotay camp, situated around 2,500 feet below the summit. Mariebelle P. Ella decided to stay in the camp when Pedro and I carried out the final assault on the third day. There were no signs of passage beyond 4,500 feet.
There is a rock obstacle, barely an hour from the camp, on the ridge and dense growth thereafter.
