Mount Pulag
Kim, Shaylee, and I (and the required guide) woke up at 1:15 AM to climb Mount Pulag. We started up the mountain at 2 AM. Most people started at 1 AM, but we were afraid of reaching the top too early so we left at 2. Even though we left an hour later than everyone else, we passed all of other groups (most people hike slow here!) and reached the top before anyone else today. It was still too early and we had to wait around for the sunrise, but it was too cloudy to see it anyway.
The trail up was not hard, but it was really muddy and wet since it had rained hard several days prior. On the way down the sun came out enough for some pretty good photos. After arriving at the trailhead mid morning we headed for Kabayan.
