Time for some scrambling...
This rope was not really necessary
Maunawili valley - tomorrow's hike
This rope *was* helpful for this bit of
class 4 scrambling
Peaks 2 and 3 now visible
One last bit of scrambling to the 1st peak
Looking back the way I came up
Incredible 360 degree views
View to the south
Look closely and you can see Molokai and
Maui
Climbing down from peak 1 on way to peak 2
Peak 1 from Peak 2
