"Another fun route planned by Takashi. None of us took this route before so it was great to be out there for a new adventure. After trying to get the easy way in, the YMCA guys didn't let us use their trail for the approach and the end of the street looked like a sketchy area to trespass, so we opted to hike up Mauna Kuala and drop down to no mans land before climb up a very steep way to Kauaopuu. This was the original route that Takashi climbed these peaks, I had a different way bagging them.
From here on was new territory for all of us but nothing we couldn't handle. There was one section right after the next peak to Kauaopuu where we had to use webbing for a safe descent. The rest was all bushwhacking and scrambling, none of it too hard.
Alexa got some cramps so we slowed down a bit by the end, but we still finished the route in less than 6h. " — nandorszotak • Mar 4, 2023
"Peakbagging day on the west side. After a little research I found a way to get up to this rarely hiked ridge line. It was a nice pleasure crossing, at the end descending Mauna Kuwale was a little more scrambling, but that made it more fun. Was interesting to find that old bunker style building on the exterior of Kuwale." — nandorszotak • Feb 1, 2019
