A Hike I Probably Shouldn't Do Again
Pohakea Pass – September 16, 2012 Believe me this was Marvin’s idea. The hike itself is not too bad; the only problem was a massive 80 foot rock face/cliff at the Palikea end of the Pohakea Pass. That one obstacle scared the shit out of me. While preparing for the hike, Marvin felt that Laredo could solo that cliff without rope. I didn't think the climb was possible, but Marvin’s friend Ahnate solo’d the cliff last week and did the entire hike by himself. The plan today was to go up Kaua, make a left on the Waianae summit, problem solve the cliff at the Pohakea Pass, make our way to Palikea, finally go down the Palehua-Palikea road. We met at the golf course on Kunia road. From there, we drove on a dirt road through some farmlands in Kunia. This paranoid me like hell because I thought we would get turned back, but we didn’t. We took the road till its end and parked in some dirt. From there we encountered some construction workers doing some work, they said hi to us. I even heard on...
