Ascents Mount Batulao (811m) 05.02.2013

Up the "New trail" and down the "Old trail". No guide taken. It is fairly exposed a few places along the ridge, but no danger or problem in dry weather. A girl fell to her death here a couple of years ago. The upper part of the "Old trail" have one short section of fixed rope.

I would say this is one of the finest dayhikes in the Philippines. The nearby location of Manila, means it is very busy in the weekends. But midweeks it is silent. We only met five other hikers on this Tuesday. See my GPS-track here.
