Mt. Apo (Via Sta. Cruz Trail)

 

Mt. Apo (Kapatagan Trail Traverse to Sta. Cruz Century Trail)

December 17-19, 2022

Mt. Apo Summit

As a first time hiker/climber, it was tough for me...almost giving up but then again, the thought of challenging myself is something big for me...considering in 2021, i was one of those COVID patient...dealing with shortness of breath, totally having difficulty breathing in every step but was able to manage with the help of my brother who sponsored this once in a lifetime experience reaching the peak of the highest mountain in the Philippines...and of course i'm so thankful to our guide "Lakaw ni Paw" and the porters who made everything possible...though it was so cold and cloudy and so windy at that time but i can say thank you Lord, God i made it, we made it! Yes, indeed a successful trail!!!
