Winward Oahu
This has been the most dangerous and most terrifying hike I have ever done. You'll know why I said that when you see our pictures. You'll probably say, "what were you thinking?" Mt. Olomana and its three rugged peaks rise from the flats of Kailua on windward Oahu, rises more than 1,600 feet and not to mention ridges with drop-offs on either or both sides. Scared yet? Keep reading..... A hike along its narrow ridgeline is a challenge and difficult or a better word for that, dangerous. Ryan and I and a group of hikers really challenge ourselves to go beyond our hiking ability. At least for me anyway. I mean, have I done rock climbing before? No! This hike requires you to do such and thank God, with the help of the ropes I survived each and every step I made. Anyway, we made it all the way to the third peak and back to the trailhead in one piece. The view from third peak was spectacular, but I have seen better. This hike is more of like overcoming your fear, knowing your hiking ability and how far you could go when you don't expect what's coming. Most of the hike I've done is always a challenge, but this definitely surplus it. Would I do this hike again? Yes, I've done it once, I can do it again but definitely not anytime soon :-)
I am working on getting our slideshow up and running, so please stay tuned!
