Mt. Daraitan
Tanay, Rizal

I would consider this as my first day hike happened last 20th of  September 2015 at Tanay, Rizal with my sister and friends. I really thought it was just near to Pasig. However, it took us 3-4 hours in going there from riding 2 jeepneys, 1 tricycle and a quick boat ride. The trip on the tricycle was really uncomfortable because of the rocky road. Our goal is to see the sunrise at the peak but suddenly we weren't able to capture it because we started to trek at 5am and reached the peak at 8am.
I didn't really had any sleep that time since our call time is 1am so ate a lot of trail foods to have energy. I am really afraid of heights but it does not matter because it has a lot of trees so I wasn't looking thinking I am getting higher. When we reached the summit we took a bit rest and also for picture taking. I think going down is more difficult because of the mud that makes the trail slippery. After hiking, we ate our lunch and rest again. Since, most of us are already tired excluding me and my sister, we weren't able to visit the cave which I was excited about. Therefore, we just went to Tinipak River and swam. The current is high so we're advised to stay on the side.
It was a great experience indeed as a beginner. Hoping to climb more mountains soon because the view on peak is worth sweating for!
