Came back for a second try at the dayhike, this time successful in 17hrs. One of the more memorable ones I've done yet. Trip Report

Don NelsenEpic trek  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Feb 12, 2006

What came to be known as the "gang of four" started planning this trip late in '05 and finally all arrived on the island in Feb. of '06 and mustered for the event. Bob Packard, the venerable peak bagger with thousands of climbs to his credit, John Mitchler, Dave Colville and myself set out on a fine sunny day. By the evening of the second day, the rain commenced and seldom let up for the remainder of the trip. After 13 miles of jungle slog we made the summit about noon on the third day and heartily celebrated as the sky cleared long enough for a few photo opps before the rain once again engulfed us. We emerged from the jungle and drove out on the afternoon of the fifth day, tired and bruised, but elated that we got back all in one piece with a great story to tell.

Date Climbed: Apr 22, 2006

I set out to dayhike the Kauai highpoint, but was thwarted by a few tactical errors. I'm convinced it can be done and will have to go back for another try in the future. This place is great fun! Trip Report

fortaz107Route Climbed: Alakai Swamp Trail Date Climbed: 12/4/00
I drove right to the end of the road and then took the trail to Alakai Swamp. Great views of the north coast as you are skirting the ridge. Occasional clouds blew up the side of the island and past me from time to time. Its strange seeing a swamp way up on the top of a mountain, but it was pretty nice. I liked how most of the trail is a boardwalk. I didnt have time to make it to the actual summit while I was there. The summit area is very hard to get to for a mountain of this size due to the extreme amount of rainfall.
