"Ascent from Bancal Trace along El Tucuche main road, track to a sub ridge on the Eastern flank then up through the forest to the summit. Stunning forest, single track for 4 km of the hike. The day was wet and windy and cold for the Caribbean. Steep climb at the end. " — chriskelshall • Jan 18, 2020

"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. " — chriskelshall • Oct 28, 2017

"Hobal Trace to the summit. Steep start on pitched road 40% gradient along a sub ridge. The incredible tropical rainfall mixed with thunder over head made the ascent of Devils staircase intense. Arrived at the summit to celebrate Glenn Wilkes 75th Bday with a cake on a windy and cloud shrouded mountain. Phenomenal experience. Descent in the rain required careful movements. Extremely slippery. " — chriskelshall • Sep 30, 2017
