How difficult is Mt. Kupapey?

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask for some insights about Mt. Kupapey from those who have hiked it recently.

We're planning to join a Mt. Fato + Mt. Kupapey tour this weekend. The thing is, some of my friends aren't really into technical or difficult climbs. One of them joined me on Mt. Ulap before and didn't enjoy the cliff sections, while another joined me on Mt. Makiling and didn't like the long assaults.

Based on my research, Mt. Fato seems to have quite a few steep assaults, so our current plan is for some of us to do both Mt. Fato and Mt. Kupapey, while the others will skip Mt. Fato and just hike Mt. Kupapey.

For those who have done Mt. Kupapey recently, would you consider it beginner friendly? Are there any steep or technical sections we should be aware of, or is it generally manageable for first-time or casual hikers?

Would really appreciate any recent feedback. Thanks!

Mt. Sembrano as my third mountain

Just finished Mt. Sembrano as my third mountain. My first was Mt. Ulap, then Mt. Makiling, and now this.

I really enjoyed this hike. Ang ganda ng scenery all throughout the trail, and the view from the summit made the climb worth it. I found the final ascent a bit challenging, so I’m not sure I’d recommend it for absolute beginners, but overall it was a really rewarding hike.

I’m already thinking about my next mountain. I do want to try a major hike eventually, but I think I still need more training before taking that on. Right now, I’m considering Mt. Fato and Mt. Kupapey next. The views and the cooler climate there look amazing.

Any recommendations for mountains to do before attempting a major hike?

Hand-Pulled Chinese Beef Noodles in Binondo

Went back to Shepherd Lanzhou Beef Noodles Buffet in Binondo and the place has really improved. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the service was much smoother, and the unli side dishes were always fresh and quickly refilled. They also serve traditional hand pulled noodles, which are worth trying. Definitely a much better experience compared to my last visit.

90's kids, where do you buy your old school snacks?

Found these sa Puregold and grabe, instant throwback. Hindi ko in-expect na makakakita pa ako ng mga ganitong snacks.

Curious lang, saan pa kayo bumibili ng old school 90's snacks? Baka may alam pa kayong ibang stores na maraming nostalgic finds.

Binondo bites

Fried rice, bird’s nest soup, at shrimp with broccoli. Isa sa mga favorite combos ko.

This was at President Grand Palace Restaurant, one of my go to spots in Binondo. Sulit, generous yung servings, and I’ve always had good meals there

Ensaladang ampalaya

Hated ensaladang ampalaya when I was younger because of the bitterness, but I eventually learned to love it as I got older. Siguro dahil na rin mas na-appreciate ko yung taste, plus ang dami rin niyang health benefits. Kayo ba, fan ba kayo ng ampalaya or pass talaga?

Steak and veggies

Tried this at Escobar recently. Steak, veggies, and rice. Simple meal but really satisfying. Definitely one I’d order again.
