My advice to those who wants to do the K2D or D2K traverse is, you should have 100% physical and mental preparedness and at least 1 week of training. There are some parts of the trail that has almost 90 degree rope segments. There are also some parts of the trail that you'll passed and hanged on a cliff were you only depend on the roots of the trees.
I would like to thanks to our Habagat CDO and Habagat Davao friends for making this climb possible.
