Thank you! We did it yesterday for my bday celebration! None of us has done it before! I’m in awe (understatement) how you did it multiple times. I’m definitely down to do it again, If you guys will do it again, I’d love to join you. I know you advised not to use your blog as a guide, but this definitely helped us see what to expect. This definitely tested our limits in all aspects. We exited down Kekoalele Ridge. I did my research for a month to figure out where it is exactly. But, I was not expecting this to be as extreme as it was.

The trail itself is straight forward. There are no confusing turns. Go with somebody that has done it before as the trail is chossy and crumbly.

Do you have the trail saved somewhere online like Alltrails or Strava?

Mahalo,

I could almost relive that day! Thanks to y9u and CB for bringing us down safely. We got a double high for days! Until the next one …but not this one! Lol PS. I thought the hook was called the Can Opener?
