TARAK RIDGE Mariveles, Bataan Jump off point: Brgy. Alas-asin, Mariveles LLA: 14°30.357′N, 120°30′E, 1,006 MASL (ridge); 1,130 MASL (peak) Days required / Hours to summit: 2 days, 5-6 hours Specs: Major climb, Difficulty 4/9, Trail class 3 BACKGROUND You may actually choose to scale the very summit of Mariveles, but it is Tarak Ridge, on Mt. Mariveles’ west face, that has gained much attention. Its craggy landscape, sharp rocks, and steep location may have given rise to its name, Tarak, which is somewhat of a cross between ‘Tabak’ (hunting knife) and ‘Tarik’ (steep). There is a scenic, 270-degree view of Bataan which includes the islands of Corregidor and neighboring islands, as well as Manila Bay all the way to Cavite. #tarakridge #mt.mariveles #hikingadventures
