Know Before You Go:

  • This is a personal favorite ‘difficult’ Oahu ridge hike!

  • First peak is a breeze, second peak requires some upper body strength to hoist yourself up the rope.

  • Third peak is only recommended for the extremely adventurous as it is dangerous for non-climbers and technical.

  • We recommend doing the 1st and 2nd peak as an out + back on a dry day.

  • If you’re new to hiking in Hawaii, try another hike before attempting this to get acclimated to the terrain given the multiple microclimates and potential volume of mud.

  • Bring spikes if you are hiking this after a rainy day.

  • Park at the coordinates and walk 10 min to the trailhead; there is no parking right at the trailhead.
