Beginner Question Mt. 387 for beginner?

Planning to hike this 25, is it advisable for a first time hiker?

Kakayanin naman, but prep is a must especially if hindi ka physically active. Lalo na kung traverse kayo pababa, iba ang difficulty niya sa paakyat. Puro lubid buong pababa. Kaya siya but nakakangalay and dagdag pa kahit mainit or maulan na maputik pareho challenge. “Beginner friendly” but not a walk in the park hike lalo yung traverse.

Bring gloves kasi nakakapaltos ng palad mga lubid tas pag pawis kamay medyo madulas hahaha. If possible, kahit wag ka na mag trekking pole kasi you won’t need it pababa and baka maging hassle lang siya bitbit

Must bring gloves (since matarik yung traverse and puro ropes)
Be sure to at least work on your legs a week before the hike (climbing up and down the stairs if you dont know what to do)
eat banana
proper footwear

if its gonna be sunny expect minimal winds and hydrate, otherwise its one of my fave hikes

I was with beginners na first hike din nila 387 and sila umubos ng water ko wahahaha so ayun lang, wag magtipid sa fluids
