Yep, that's right! I think this is the best time of the year to climb mountains because the weather is still cold but it's really not raining. As they say, January is the knitted sweater season. I can't blame them though, I'm liking the sweater weather and how it gives off an instant glow! LOL! It's also part of my goals this year so climb as many mountains as I can because it's less expensive than a normal travel plus the view from the summit is always soooo worth it. \u0026lt;3\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThe last time I climb was I think around March last year, we had a twin day hike at \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.maayalegaspi.com\/2016\/03\/mt-gola-and-mt-manalmon-twin-day-hike.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EMt.

Balagbag has a \u003Cb\u003Edifficulty of 2\/9\u003C\/b\u003E and the trail is a lot easier than what I've experienced from my climbs before. Height is roughly 777 MASL (so far the highest that I've climbed). It is situated in Rizal and is part of the Sierra Madre range. I always prefer climbing mountains that's in Rizal because not only it's near our place, the view from the summits are also stunning. This is definitely the perfect mountain for beginners like me (seems like I won't be past beginner, lol!), difficulty is easy, trail doesn't include rock climbing, and there are almost no life threatening passages.

Do not make the same mistakes we did! Lol! We walked our way to the jump off which took us 1 hour, considering we are beginners, our pace is quite slower than those who are frequently climbing mountains. So when we reached the jump off after an hour, we felt really relieved! Of course you have a choice to ride the tricycle or not. As for us, we could've saved time if we rode the tricycle. Thing is, we really didn't know that there's a tricycle available.

Guess this is a favorites among bikers. If you have a 4X4, you can also bring it. We saw a lot of people going to the summit using their 4X4's. We're actually jealous because we're already very tired and those people doesn't have a hard going to the summit. We thought of hitchhiking but no, experience is far more valuable so we continued the hike. The view while hiking is amazing. So what more the view from the summit right?\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nAlso, if you're more into adventure, you can pitch your tent and have an overnight.

Also, knowing our pace, we really should have descend a little early to catch the jeep. Descending is a lot easier of course. When we reached the jump off area, we changed our clothes and waited for a tricycle. Another tip I can give is instead of asking the driver from Licao-Licao to alight you at Tungko, ask the jeepney driver to alight you at Starmall because this is where the buses usually get people. And before the bus goes to Tungko, there are no more seats available so you will be standing on your whole travel to Cubao. And knowing your all tired from that climb, we don't want that to happen. :)\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Ccenter style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003C\/center\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/--EUA_0o4RJI\/WHxJqqm03pI\/AAAAAAAAGTE\/SH5nZX1GG1EFG_-KmchdgVFqy74yc8IPQCEw\/s1600\/Mt.%2BBalagbag%2B11.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Mt.
