Sunrise Challenge in Mt Pigingan in Itogon, Benguet, Philippines (My first Cordillera climb!)

The 10-km hike to the summit of Mt Pigingan was my first in the Cordillera Mountain Range in Northern Philippines. The trail was moderately challenging as it snaked through the mountainside, but the smell of pine trees and the cool breeze took away much of the strain.
We started from the trailhead at roughly 4:30am and got to the peak in about 4 hours. Wonderfully, there were no mosquitoes at that time but we walked past some cattle grazing on the mountain.
If you are visiting Baguio and can squeeze in an extra day, this would be a good experience to try. Do bring the proper gear.
