Mt. Kabunian
Jump Off Point : Poblacion, Bakun
1840 MASL

Para sa iyong kaalaman:

This mountain is popularly known as the "home of the kankana-ey god, Kabunian." Parts of the breathtaking huge rocky mountainsides used to be burial grounds, hence the presence of box coffins and human bones. Its rocky peak is idyllic for the hardy rock climbers and mountain trekkers as a challenging destination and campsite.

January 14, 2011 - Day 2

Quarter to 10pm when I decided to sleep after a tiring, "wasak" climb to Mt. Tenglawan. Prior sleeping, uminom muna ako "alaxan" (Ibuprofen + Paracetamol) just in case pagising ko kinabukasan ay magkaroon ako ng muscle pains then took a bath. (Freezing cold pero pinilit ko pa rin maligo)

Woke up at around 2.30am then the team ate Pancit Canton with Itlog na pula and kamatis. (Note: Itlog na pula is maalat, very good lalo na sa pagiwas ng cramps)

3.30 am we started the trek then..... 2 Guides (isa sa unahan, isa sa huli) as mandated by the Barangay Captain.

Mahaba habang hagdanan ang aming tinahak kaya napaisip na kami kung gaano to kahirap pagnakabalik na kami since slope kung slope ang hagdan (pano pa kung akyatin to pabalik?)

Mas mabilis ang lakad namin nung umpisa since madaling araw, walang view na nakikita masyado (hindi mo mapapansin kung kaano kataas/lalim ang pinakamahaba na hanging bridge) kaya walang stop-over for Photo Ops na nagyari.

Lahat naman ay medyo nakapagpahinga nung gabi kaya medyo mabilis ang pacing ng group. Salamat sa Alaxan na bigay ni Sir Ace at walang muscle pain ako sa day 2. Hindi naman ako nagpaiiwanan sa trail and hindi rin inatake ng cramps kaya masaya ang trail na to.

I took the opportunity na makisabay sa nasaunahang Guide para at least I can ask questions about sa Lugar.

Going to Mt. Kabunian was indeed the best trek among the 3. Ang daming magagandang view, the trail was awesome, Mt. Batulao-like ang trail, Burnt pine tress ( I think sinusunog nila to to attract wild goats, nalaman ko yan nung nagpunta ako sa Anawangin). At ang pinakagusto ko sa lahat during the trek going up and down sa mga ravines, although may mga hawakan naman pero it was like an anchievement para sa akin pagnakalagpas na ako :) . The rest, I'll let the pictures speak for itself nalang. hehehe.

We  reached the summit around 8:51 in the morning... On the other side you will see La Union, Mt. Gedgedayan and even Mt. Tenglawan then by around 9.30am descend na kami para bumalik sa Poblacion.

Second Summit: Conquered
