My Mother Mountain. Cold. Little to no sweat due to temperature. You could literally see your mouth smoke due to coldness. The cemented part of the trail is much more punishing especially the descend. I did not use "habal" i walked all the way down to get the full experience. Habal cost 700-800php as of 12/28/2026, you can bargain if its getting dark already to 400php. Knees and quads will hurt on descend because majority of the trail going down is cemented and it is a long way down.

We had an overnight camping experience, and the temperature began to drop as early as 5pm. It is advisable to bring sufficient layers of clothing to stay warm.
