Papong fulfills Snow Mountain “Dream Climb”

For the third time in less than two years, LOGSAC’s Danrev Broñola has fulfilled another international climb, this time he climbed Taiwan’s Snow Mountain dated May 12-14, 2012; ably completing a spring assault amidst hardships brought about by extremely cold temperature, lofty altitude and  complex visa application.

The climb took him 3 days to complete the itinerary that included a jump off from the trail head to Chika Cabin to 369 Hut to the summit and back to the trail head. The entire climb stretches a total hiking distance of approximately 10.9 kilometers.
Enjoying the Snow Mountain Summit
Snow mountain measures 3,886 meters above sea level and is Taiwan’s second highest peak. It has also been considered the most beautiful scenery in the entire Taiwan. The mountainscape is spectacular, with its beauty beyond compare.

It is the third mountain climbed by Papong outside the Philippines following his previous ascends of Mt. Kinabalu in Malaysia last February 2011 and Mt. Everest North Base Camp last October 2011.
