Olomana
This weekend we went on what was probably our most technical hike here in Hawaii. The Olomana trail is located on the windward side in Kailua. It's a formation all it's own and not part of the massive Koolau range. It's a series of three peaks with some near vertical sections to it.
Needless to say, we didn't do the whole hike. We came to a point before the first peak that was one of the "near vertical" sections and Caitlin made the judgement call that she would be unable to scale the section. So I went on without her to the top of the first peak real quick to scope out the views. It was a spectacular view.
Here are some photos from the hike:
As you can see, Caitlin was not very happy with me for taking her on this hike. I am very proud of her for making it as far as she did.
This is the reason for such a look from Caitlin.
That small piece of land on the bottom right was basically all there was for the trail along the ridge at the top.
