Good deal. I’ve hiked with Justin before. I’m the pale haole with the teal shirt.I think you’ve hiked with my buddy Yoly a lot too. Happy trails.

Aloha Casey,
Nice bumping into your group, even though sorry to say I don’t know which one you were. Ah, quite the contrary, by being on my blog, you have now sunken into relative obscurity. I apologize in advance for any problems this may impact on your professional and social life. :). Yeah sure, hit me up on facebook, as I usually hike every weekend!

I made it on Kenji’s blog! I’m famous. All I had to do was pass him on Stairway to Hell. Maybe one day I’ll get to hike with him too.

Thanks for the compliment, I love photography and traveling, living in Hawaii makes photography easy it’s so gorgeous here. I have a goal of doing Pali Notches over K1 & K2, that’s what I am currently pouring over trip reports for. Pretty exciting hiking/climbing up there. I did a scout up there and got to the chimney. Going to bring my own static rope I don’t trust those fixed lines haha. Also going to get in on a Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club hike when I can. Up for some high adventure for sure. Anyways, mahalo, have a great week!

Hey man, I forgot how I came to the blog, looking up some trail or another and damn you guys are doing the real hikes around here. If you ever could find room in a hike crew for the day please hit me up. I live in Oahu now as a nurse and have just been soloing most things. I want to do more ridge hikes but I don’t feel too safe out there on my own. Anyways thanks for the detailed trail report, damn I’d love to do this or a similar hike…

Aloha Jeffrey,
The death of the stairs due to the landslide has been greatly exaggerated by the media. It is still passable but of course the stairs itself is still patrolled by security and the police have been giving out tickets like candy due to the unwanted exposure the stairs has been getting as of late.

Yeah.. I still have friends on Oahu and heard about the landslide that took out a section of the stairs last year. I assume you can’t climb the stairs because of that.

Cheers!

Aloha Jeffrey,
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed the post. The stairs has been getting a lot of unwanted attention if you’re still following local news. Talks of tearing them down have been gathering momentum and urgency. Only time will tell.
Mahalo!

That was a righteous hike brah. I climbed the Haiku stairs twice when I lived in Aeia (2011-2014). I wish I could have hooked up with some hikers like y’all so I could have done a hike like this. Thank you so much for sharing. Makes me miss Oahu
