    1. Hi Sir, my next post was about our Bulusan climb. It was pretty difficult, and we did not have clearing at the summit. We were a bit late, that's why we were not allowed to camp at Lake Aguingay. I suggest you come there well before the evening, (we arrived at around 6PM) so that you can still trek up to Lake Aguingay, camp there, and assault to summit at 3 or 4AM the next day. Good luck on your climb! :)
