Mt.Ugo

MT.PULAG diverted to MT.UGO (FREEDOM CLIMB) JUNE 11-14 2009

Diverted!!!!
"Destination Unknown" as Mr.Rancheros would say, although we had the plans to take on MT.PULAG but ending up being invited by Sir Ed of TEAM SAGUL to join them on MT.UGO i was raving to go back to THE PLAYGROUND OF THE GODS, but was destined to take on MT.UGO it was a great adventure we were the sweepers of the group, Ranger & i was enjoying every view on the way while trekking,TEAM SAGUL itinerary was via LUSOD, but for Ranger & i had no IT at all, so it was on the way to LUSOD that Ranger & i decided to take on the trail going to AMBASA via MT.MARIKIT which was seldom use by climbers for it's long and strenuous trail, we did some exploring and saw many spectacular water falls along the way, it was 2pm when we arrived at the IBALOYS tribe, we did not push for MT.UGO on that day, we settled our bags and explored the nearby water falls it was another 20 minutes trek just to swim on that falls, we enjoyed the company of the tribe, and early in the morning decided to take on UGO it was almost a 4 hours assault Ranger told me that it was just like the akiki trail on MT,PULAG using the trail via MARIKIT i thought it was a never ending ascend wahahahahaha tired but enjoying it, we had our lunch at the summit, and after that descended to domolpos, where we settled at the MT.UGO baptist church and enjoyed the company of Pastor Elmer, we can take on the trail going to kayapa, but again decided to enjoy the day at domolpos, the coffee was very rewarding, early morning Ranger & i decided to say thank you & goodbye to Pastor Elmer because we still have a 4 hours trek going to kayapa. After almost 4 hours of trekking we arrived at kayapa we took our lunch at kayapa and waited for the bus going to baguio. IT WAS ONE GREAT ADVENTURE!!!! it was surely a celebration of THE FREEDOM CLIMB.
