Talk:Mount Apo

Apo Trek

If the summit is "very easy to reach", why wasn't it climbed until 1880? Coffee 16:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

No offense but you are asking the wrong question. Back in the 1800's when the trails are not yet established, you have to climb and hack from the base of the mountain all the way to the summit. The first climbers took weeks (if im not mistaken) to reach the summit and back.

Right now, there are roads and well established trails, and the jump off point on the way to the summit is at a higher elevation. The degree of difficulty on reaching the summit varies. Yes it is true that the summit is easy to reach if you take the Kidapawan trail via North Cotabato (one day up, one day down). On the other hand, the Kapatagan Trail via Davao del Sur is much more challenging (2 days up, one day down) compared to the North Cotabato approach. I summited Apo on 2006 via a new trail named Sibulan. I should say that this is my most challenging climb so far (3 days up, 2 days down).

Regular hikes and exploration climbs are two different things. Even a hill will take days to explore if you do not have established trails.

I hope this answers your question. If not, try climbing a mountain yourself. I'm quite sure you will eventually know what I mean. :)

Layout

The intro section of article "Mount Apo" has {{Infobox mountain}}, and the altitude is specified 3x times (as 2954 m) to help detect hacking of the mountain's height.

Official height: 2954 m (source Britannica: EB-565).

Beware: over 90% of edits to article "Mount Apo" are vandalism+reverts, as typical of many other unprotected articles about a "big" topic. The altitude has been hacked (from 2954 m), numerous times, to erroneously state: 3142, 3145, 3224 m, etc.

This article is a good candidate for becoming a verified-edit article, rather than being a general article which instantly displays new changes & hacked text. -Wikid77 (talk) 23:48, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Agree with the above. No sources in support of anything higher than 2954 have been supplied. Please stop making unsourced changes to this elevation. Viewfinder (talk) 10:44, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

The information on the height of Mt Apo is still erroneous given at the very top of the article more than 10,000ft. No mountain in the PH has reached higher than 10,000ft. Lctatingjr (talk) 02:28, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 3 April 2014

Please change, “master” or “grandfather” to "grandchild" because "apo" means grandchild not grandfather in Tagolog. If you were meaning a different Filipino language then you should specify because it confused me. I am half Filipino and know only a few words but that is one that I know. 71.204.17.174 (talk) 23:33, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Sam Sailor ^Sing 20:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
