About Mt. Apo

Mt. Apo Diary: The evening was full of our stories until all of us were asleep. The last memory before reaching REM, the wind was strong, and rain was falling. It was the longest 3 hours of sleep. The next day, early in the morning, another set of stories before we decided to go out. As I opened the tent's flysheet, the cold wind entered, and we got chilled. Others didn't have a choice but to start folding their sleeping bags. Hahaha. The fog was thick, and the surroundings were wet. Prepared our breakfast and did some preps for ascent to the summit of Mt. Apo. Hopping for a good clearing, we trekked as early as 4 AM.
