Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. My directions are deliberately vague, as the conditions ( access and trails change constantly) ,as I hope the posts serve more as entertainment and inspiration than a hiking guide.
That being said, bearclaw has two forks, left and right, with the first being the easiest. Trailhead is deep in Waimanalo near Hilltop Ranch. Please be respectful of the neighbors by not making much noise until you get high in the mountains. The forks themselves are different for everybody. Just make sure you know your limitations and test every hold before committing, as most of the rocks are crumbly/chossy and loose. Don’t trust strange ropes that you haven’t set yourselves. Here are a couple links to Bear Claw:

Stay safe and happy trails. Mahalo
