"Started in Los Banos at the university. It was Good Friday, Holy Week, lots of people! First part is a paved road. Lots of shops. Bought some bananas. Went to mud pool first. At Agila Base the path got small. Climbed through forest. A lady gave some information: watch out for leeches and need to come down at 14 o clock! Oh ooh. Detour between station 16 and 17 because of landslide. On the way up went hardcore, left everyone behind. Wanted to make the summit before deadline. Climbed like crazy, passed lots of people. Did not wait for people coming down. Got to Peak 2 at 13h45 uff! No possibilit" - Mount Makiling, Pieter, Mar 30, 2018

"Took tricycle from Tagaytay to Taal Lake. A catamaran took us to the Taal Island. Got a guide who took us on a dusty path up. Some people on horses. Had a beatiful view over the surroundings just before sunset." - Mount Taal, Pieter, Mar 14, 2018

"Got up really early to go from Sagada to Bomod-Ok Falls. Past the rice fields and had the waterfall to ourselves. Followed a ridge trail through the dense woods passing Danum Lake. Got to Mount Ampacao in the afternoon. Stiff uphill through mud. Antenna on top. Went back to Sagada after." - Mount Ampacao, Pieter, Mar 11, 2018

"Went for a day hike at Mt. Maynoba to introduce hiking to some of our friends, got a nice weather and a clear view of the Sierra Madre mountain range. A lot of people hiked that day so trails are crowded. We also enjoyed swimming on the "Gugulong na Bato Falls" - one of the eight waterfalls that can be found along the trail going back to the jump-off." - Mount Maynoba, frankoie, Feb 24, 2018

"A 3 days 2 nights climb via the Akiki trail. Good thing the weather is fine on the whole adventure. Temperature dropped at 2°c when we were at the saddle camp. Sea of clouds was seen when we went to the summit. We went down via the Ambangeg trail. " - Mount Pulag, frankoie, Jan 12, 2018
