Bagging It!
Mount Mangabon rises tis the second-highest peak in Misamis Oriental Province, Mindanao. It towers above the surrounding terrain with no widely-recorded ascent history. Logging operations in surrounding areas have diminished access routes, and there are no established trails recorded in online trip logs—suggesting that any ascent would be exploratory and potentially technical.
Practicalities
-
- Getting there: Mount Mangabon is located near Claveria, Misamis Oriental in Northern Mindanao. The terrain is rugged and remote, with no publicly documented trailheads.
-
- Permits: There is no formal trail or commercial trekking infrastructure. No permit system is documented publicly, and access might involve private logging concessions or ancestral/community lands. Any expedition would require liaison with local government units (LGU) and potential permission from landowners or indigenous communities.
-
- Water sources: No information confirms streams along a route. Given the dense rainforest climate, water is likely available at lower elevations.
