Mt. Sicapoo
2,354 m above sea level · Ilocos Norte · 18.013°N, 120.938°E · effort 9/9
The rooftop of the Ilocos range and a demanding multi-day climb: river crossings at Solsona, knife-edged grass ridges, and the sword-like "One Degree" ascent. Remote, hot, and relentlessly steep.
Access and permits
Before you go
The original source could not be retrieved in this review; only indexed context was available. The official profile identifies Sicapoo as a trekking destination in Apayao. This does not authorize the catalog Solsona-Gasgas itinerary. An April 2026 Butao fire suspension appears in secondary reports; its original notice and any later clearance were not retrieved. Current entry, guide and fee rules remain unknown.
Arrange with: Solsona municipal tourism office for Gasgas access; Calanasan tourism office for the separate Butao approach

Effort (1-9) is computed from distance, ascent and terrain; technical (A-E) follows the trail class, from a clear path (A) to real climbing (E). Elevations, grades and trail data are indicative - always verify with the LGU / DENR before a climb. Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.
