Climbing Mt. Tagapo is a longing. Maybe this is one of the many mountains of Rizal which is being overlooked, due to the logistics of going here.
One Sunday morning, 3 of us chased the earliest boat ride at the Binangonan Port to realize that goal. Initially, Caloy was insisting to have a twin climb with Mt. Sembrano located in Pililia; an idea which I strongly declined. Although there were teams who already succeeded in achieving such a feat, the distance of the 2 mountains would certainly make a very inconvenient climb.

One will surely be marveled by just passing through its dense bamboo forest, stretching out from the jump-off up to the base of its summit.
The trail is straightforward and fair, but there's something strange about it. Anyway, I believe that every mountain has its own strangeness. Just go with the flow and dance with the mountain spirits :D
