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.
