-Advice ko lang po sa mga aakyat
   magsuot ng long sleeve and long pants, ang trail po ng Maynoba lalot pa Final Climb pa Summit ay Grass Land more on talahib at Kugon po ang nakaabang sa trail makate at pwedeng mahiwa ang balat ng braso at binti nyo.

Once na nasa river side na kayo pa descend or traversing river side the trail is more on easy unlike when you are on the final assault going to the Maynoba summit, Puro kawayanan or Bamboo along the trail ang makikita at madadaanan nyo..
