" My 1000th mountain peak climbed in a lifetime. Looking forward for the next milestone 😆 I am glad that this climb happened here in my favorite mountain range in the Ko’olaus. It is a magical, mysterious, evergreen place which made me a better outdoor person and made me respect the mountains so much more. Aloha ⛰🏝🌿" — nandorszotak • Sep 18, 2022

"I've been eying this one for a while, but knew the approach wouldn't be straight forward. I didn't like the approach Nandor used as much, so I used a contour map to find the base of the ridge itself to ascend. Cool spot!" — TABHikez • Aug 27, 2022

"Backpacking Mauna Loa Day 3 We woke up to the coldest day in Mauna Loa Cabin but to a beautiful sunrise. This was day day when we actually hiked to Mauna Loa Summit which was a beaitiful experience. The hardest backpacking trip to date I did in Hawaii. Beautiful experience but one of a kind! My 42nd high peak in Hawaii!" — nandorszotak • Jul 31, 2022

"Mauna Loa Backpacking Day 1-2 What an experience! Hiking through different variety of lava rocks from black to goldish, red, purple, pairing that with high elevation and you get yourself a fun, challenging experience. Day 1 we spent the night at Red Hill cabin at 10k ft elevation and Day 2 Mauna Loa Cabin at 13k ft elevation." — nandorszotak • Jul 29, 2022
