Mt. Danglay, the Climb Itinerary
Mt. Danglay has been a dream climb of mine for as long as I can remember. She sits right across the Cantabato Bay which divides the two islands of Leyte and Samar. For the most part, she’s hard to miss. Sometime 2015, I finally had the pleasure of finally climbing her. I hope this itinerary and tidbits of additional information would be helpful to locals and visitors alike.

Deuter finally opens in Cebu
A couple of months back I was lucky enough to get an invite to the opening of the first Deuter concept store in Cebu City. A concept store opening is already exciting news but for those already brand aware of Deuter, this was something special and more.

Climbing Mount Danglay in Samar
Largely unknown to the mountaineering community in the country, Mount Danglay is a reverberating call to summit for mountaineers and hikers within the nearby localities of Tacloban and Basey, Samar.

Being born and raised in Tacloban, my fascination with climbing her is grounded on reason more personal than the common one. This time, it is a gesture of respect for a mountain evident in the lives of anyone coming from Tacloban. A mountain I could have called home had I started early in this pursuit of mountains.

Morning at the Summit
Morning wasn’t any better and waking up to the cold weather seemed as if time had stood still to when we first arrived. Absent was the soothing warmth of morning; instead the earth was damp, the air cold and misty with a drizzle to complement a morning we would all rather sleep to. I thought about holding off the descent but reconsidered since our guides knew better.
