Original plan was to hike True Manamana, but was pouring rain on the Windward side, so we changed plans. We drove to the West side and and hiked. anew route up to Ohikilolo Cabin, traversing the saddle to Kea'au Middle and continued up to True Kea'au (Pu'u Kea'au). Hiked down water tank ridge.
Started as a super hot day, but we got cloud cover when we left Ohikilolo cabin, so we could scramble and hike much better in the afternoon.
