Climbing Mt. Pulag has always been on my bucket list. From the moment I saw photographs from climbers of the picturesque sea of clouds, I knew that I needed to see it for myself. So I made sure that this was going to be a plan that turns to reality — December 20, 2019, conquer Mt. Pulag.
I have trekked other trails before, although less difficult, so I was fairly confident in climbing the third tallest mountain in the Philippines. I also watched videos and read blog posts about people climbing Mt. Pulag. So, my mind was thinking, “How hard can it be?”
As the date of the hike comes closer, I checked the weather forecast, and it did not look well. We were hesitant in continuing but still decided to push through with the 2-day hike.
