Mt. Magsanga Solo Dayhike Attempt

I was left alone in our apartment at my hometown since my parents are going to Cebu for a checkup & spend the New Year there. I’ll be going there just for the New Year since I am not yet ready to face reality.  I was bored that day and decided to climb the most visible mountain around. Mount Magsanga. This is just a 500+ Meters above sea-level mountain and doable for some one day climb.

I wasn’t really prepared for the climb. I didn’t even plan, and didn’t hire any guides. The best of all, I had no trekking shoes with me. Just me, my GoPro, and my quiksilver slippers.

On the way to puting baato (H2 Ride)

the very hot trail
