The name 'Daguldul' or 'Daguldol' has been used since olden days.
It has an onomatopoeic feeling – that of suspense and grandness.
Maybe it describes the grandeur of the range and the abrupt rolling of its slopes.
The summit area is windy, as expected from a coastal mountain. Grasslands make for a 'picnic ground' feel; there are some rock formations also. In one viewpoint, called Biliran ng Limatik (20 minutes from Niyugan campsite), the nearby mountains such as Maculot (NW), Malipunyo (NNW), and more distant Mt. Banahaw (NE) can be seen; and also Mindoro (and perhaps Verde Island, SE), Tayabas Bay (SW) and a faint island, Marinduque (SSW). Visible also is Naguiling Peak in the same range - a pristine, promising destination.
A Holy Week climb with friends of Jedpol and five Lyceans.
