A hiking group sounds fun
I know Amanda (svexy96) is a hiker too... where are you?

Favorite hike: Walk out to China mans hat at low tide than climb to the top
Hottest hike: Ka'ena point state park via Mokule'ia
Coolest hike: Jack *** Ginger Pool/ Nu'uanu trail
Safest hike: Aiea loop trail

I have yet to do much hiking on the Windward side, I am up for anything other than Stairway to Heaven.

 

the pill box hike in lanikai is super nice and fairly easy........

 

Man, I cant wait till those open up. That's something I've always wanted to do.

 

if its a race you guys want i think i hold the title for fastest round trip on diamond with a 50lbs ruck sack

 

You Army guys dont count, youre expected to be in shape for PT :P

 

are you kidding me I am as fat as they come

 

haha but probably more in shape than most of us ^^

 

You have a weird definition of fat!

 

WooHoo! Me and a friend were bored today, so we decided what the heck, lets trek up Mariner's Ridge! It was, for me, a lot harder then I thought it would be. We actually had to stop a couple of times on the steep parts. I cant believe how out of shape I am! But we made it to the top and back in about three hours. Here's some pics!

The last stretch to the peak, almost there!:


Almost at the top:


Finally at the top! Beautiful view of Waimanalo and Kailua/Lanikai beyond:


The Koolaus:


Peace from the top!:



All in all, fun day, and a great workout. Now I have to start training to get back in shape! I wanna do the other ridges, but if this is the easiest ridge, I've got a lot of work today! But hiking is great fun, we all gotta do this more!

 

damn, you are quick! i guess showing you those pics got you too excited. and i didn't say that this hike is gonna be easy. i said that this is the easiest way to the koolau mountains, but you will be sweating alright.... and yes, it's a pretty steep incline...almost all uphill.

 

^^^ Ted, Jimi wants in on the hike but Sunday might be a problem for him.. Photosession!!

 

no problem...we can arrange a saturday, i'm off on the weekends...but, not too sure about the others though.

 

Ted saturday would be good for Miz and I. If possible lets start early.....

 

yup, i like early hikes...we just need to figure out which hiking spot we are going to now....and we will look into a saturday.

 

Ted try and apply the crawl walk run method. We will probably have some rookie hikers so it would only be fair to start easy then work our way up. I think this would be sweet if we could do this once a month each month setting a new goal/harder hike.
