John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

I haven't climb it before but would like to climb one day..I have heard lot about it and would like to share the facts related to it.. I hope you like it..

  • Route starting from Agko Springs near Kidapawan, Mindanao.
  • Climbing Mount Apo is a good workout. It’s not a technical climb, but don’t underestimate it. Take a good rain coat and a small tent because it rains a lot and gets very cold at night.
  • Hypothermia could be a problem if you get soaked and don’t have any dry clothing to change into.
  • Steam rises from a hot spring in the photo at left.
  • Water is available at several places along the way so taking a liter water bottle along should be enough. Carrying extra weight will make each step harder.
  • Mt. Apo is 2954 meters, and is the highest mountain in the Philippines.
  • Most hikers take three days to make the round trip from the starting point near the Agko hot springs. If you are in shape and want to push harder you could complete the trip in 2 days or less.
  • There are a few river crossings at the beginning of the trail. The park workers have installed crossing bridges for some of the rivers, but prepare to get your feet wet crossings  small streams and swampy areas.
  • It’s a good idea to take along spare dry socks for the next day and for sleeping at night at the top. Why not be comfortable? Just remember not to take along anything that is not needed because you will be doing a lot of up hill walking and will regret it.

I am proud to say that I did.

I climbed the trek 3 times, 2 of which was only up to Lake Venado because that was educational trip when I became a delegate of the Philippine Science Youth Club camping and fair way back high school days.  But the last one, was all the way to the crater.

I have a diary for that experience, I am going to share this soon.
