Maundy Thursday at Mt. Malepunyo


My friends and I went to a dayhike at Mt. Malepunyo last Thursday. The climb was an easy one; ofcourse compared to our Mt. Makiling climb last May 2012. 




From Station 4, there were two diverging trails, we took the trail going to the left since we were advised to do so. It took us more than two hours to get to the summit, including getting delayed because we felt the need to take frequent resting periods. Haha! Btw, we’re all girls!



We were blessed with good weather. There was no rain to slow us down. It was still dawn when we started the hike and the sun was just rising when we were about to reach the peak, making for a cool hike. We were a bit disappointed when we reached the summit because it was so foggy up there. 




So we waited until the sun comes out and when it was finally up, the view from the summit became clear. 



A white cross marked the Manabu summit. We were impressed by the view of the wide plain and the other Malepunyo peaks. Got enchanted and awestruck by other mountains that are also visible from where we were located.




We started the descent by 9am, going down the same trail as the one we took coming up. We made good time and reached the jump off after two hours. We headed on home after having our lunch.


I had a good climb, got to spend time with my friends, got to meet new people, and got to explore a new mountain.



Til next time! :)
