The peak of Mt. Matarem measures less than five hundred meters in height making it a minor climb. The tallest mountains in the Philippines are more than two thousand meters tall so the climb to the summit of this Batanes peak is minor in comparison.

"Are we out of this godforsaken Boulder Field yet?" The famous trek to the Key Hole on Longs Peak requires a difficult slog through the Boulder Field, a rugged section of "trail", roughly 2/3 of a mile in length and climbs about 800 feet.
