Description

Most difficult to climb in the Philippines.

Knife edge ridges, scenic view of Mindoro Island.

Currently HALCON is CLOSED for all types of exploration for 5 yrs starting 2006. The reason is to let the flora recover from recent fires and irresponsible campers.

Thanks to Sheryl for this description.
