Pu'u Ohulehule

January, 2010

Since reading about the Danish girls lost for 8 days on this mountain I wanted to climb it. A muddy bash up the Kahana Valley, fording several streams, then 2000 feet of climbing up a steep muddy ridge with in-situ ropes brought me to the summit. The view was marred a bit because morning clouds hadn't dissipated the way I'd hoped. But I could see the bay and Chinamans Hat. Slick mud on the descent required caution. 5 hours round trip.
