Trilogy hiking in one day"

Good day everyone! I would like to share one of the most stunning adventures that i had experience before the community lock down. Some of us here might be a traveler or a Nature lover. Have you ever been experience to climb on a mountain, how about trekking or hiking with your friends and family? Let me bring you to a mountainous part of Rodriguez, Rizal.

This is actually not my first time to climb on a mountain, however, climbing three mountains in one day make me myself something that can be proud of. Its not easy to climbed, at first i was hesitant to take the challenged from my friend. In the end , after all of sweats and gasped breathing, i could finally say its all worth of time!

"You will see in this video that hiking is not a joke its not easy to climb a mountain when you're first time and if you are not physically ready to do it. However, i was encourage because im naturally nature lover. Even how hard and exhausted to walk , hold and climb, i will still go for this kind of adventure."

My friend April was living in Montalban Rizal area and i slept over their house. We prepared things to bring, then went our way to Brgy. Mascapat at 4 am with our tour guide. Our tour guide assisted as to brgy. hall and we paid the fee for 50 pesos ( environmental fee) / 500 pesos each for tour guide. There are actually stores where we can buy some food and climbing gloves and caps but we are prepared about it so we didnt need to buy another.
There are also other hikers that day with their own tour guide, we started climbing the mountain from trail off in Brgy. Mascap heading to Mt. Sipit Ulang ( First summit ), The other hikers separate their ways to other Mt. destination. Climbing on a mountain at early in the morning as you can still feel the cold breeze touching your skin , walking in a trail rocky mountain in the dark was a challenge to me. Our tour guide give us headlight for sometimes to make sure we are walking on a right trail and not to fall off. We had to take things easy and extra careful , however its really not easy to hold on to rocks and branches because my other hand was holding phone flashlight. We also had stop over to take a rest from long walk, wiped sweats and drink water. Its so exhausting for me since it was a more than a month before i get involved in this outdoor activity. Im not that too physically fit for this ( i gain a lot of weight from my job) Our tour guide advise us for breathing technique and it helped me though. All was worthy when we reach the summit of Mt. Sipit ( it took us more than 2 hours of climbing)

The second mountain was a breathless climbed we had but a breathless and awesome scenic view of big rock formations " Im so proud that i been able to reach this summit with catchy breath and almost a numbed feet. From Mt. Sipit Ulang we headed to Mt. Espadang Bato ( was about 30 mins to 1 hour of walk up to the rocky mountain). I did manage to climbed on top of espadang bato and posed at my own risk. Anyway, i dont suggest this Buwis Buhay photo pictorial if you have fear of heights.

While heading to the third summit, we had trouble going there and almost got lost our track between the bamboo crane and a rocky mountains on our way to Mt. Pamitinan. Gladly, our tour guide was able to locate a shortcut and we get there safely.
