Mt Ulap, Philex Ridge Day Hike | November 14, 2015

Bakit ka umaakyat ng bundok? Para maging IN? kasi yan ang trend ngayon, mountaineer kunwari? Para may pang profile picture? Para may makwento sa mga kaibigan mo? Para sumigaw ng "Ang sakit sakit na! Ayoko ko na!" at "Walang Forever!"?

Pero bakit nga ba ako umaakyat? Eh ang init init naman, nakakpagod ang trail , lalo na pag puro assault. Honestly, I don't know! Maybe it gives me a different vibes pag andun na ako sa summit. Different feeling, a sense of accomplishment. Kagaya siguro sa buhay natin, alam nating mahirap, masakit, pero patuloy pa din tayo, kasi alam natin sa dulo, sulit lahat ng pagod natin. Whogoat!

Let me share with you our itinerary from my last climb for 2015.

Reading on other blogs, 3/9 ang ratings nila for the difficulty. So meaning pabebe climb lang. But what I experienced is not a 3/9 or pabebe climb at all! I can say that the descend to Sta Fe is not as easy as it is! I can rate this one as 6/9. Not for a first timer, for me ha :P

Right after the summit. We didn't have any picture on the summit, kasi we skipped it! Anyways, the summit is just 50 steps up hill from where this photo was taken.
