Much steeper than it looks, and as you stand on the slope, the moss and mud you are standing on slowly slides down the mountain.

Slopes

"...the moss and mud you are standing on slowly slides down the mountain."

That's actually kind of scary, considering how steep that place is!

Botany in Hawaii is kinda dangerous

I guess you gotta do what you gotta do when there's only around 12 of these plants left in the world.

Hiking around the summit ridgeline and the other ridges coming off the Ko'olaus offers a totally different type of exposure
