'''Mount Guiting-Guiting''' is the highest mountain in the province of [[Romblon]], located in [[Sibuyan Island]], in the [[Philippines]], with an elevation of {{convert|6,752|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level. Its steep slopes and jagged peak, have earned it a reputation as one of the most technically challenging mountains to climb in the Philippines. It is ranked as the [[List of Ultras of the Philippines|11th-most prominent mountain]] in the Philippines, and [[List of islands by highest point|71st-highest peak of an island]] in the world. Located at the heart of Sibuyan, it dominates the landscape for miles around. Guiting-Guiting, in the [[Romblomanon language|Romblomanon]] dialect means  ''"jagged"''. It is one of the focal points of Sibuyan's declaration as a biodiversity haven and has been dubbed by some local and international natural scientists as ''The Galapagos of Asia.'' The island of Sibuyan has often been compared with the biodiversity [[endemism]] rate of the [[Galápagos Islands]] in Ecuador. This high endemism prompted much of the mountain and its slopes to be protected in 1996 as the ''Mt. Guiting-Guiting Natural Park''.<ref name="Mt.
