Is it like a "hike" or a "climb" though?
The moment you need ropes, i don't think it's a "hike" anymore...
You're right. That's no hike that's rock climbing.
There are cables on Half Dome in Yosemite NP and it is considered a hike.
I've seen pics of the knotted rope used on this trail.
Trust your life to a rope you or your party did NOT set? 🤔
@@dgronzega8073 Sounds like you shouldnt set ropes and instead set bolt hangers for people to clip into with their own ropes and climbing gear. I guess thats when a hike becomes rock climbing. Hanging a rope gives a false sense of "this is a smart thing to do and totally not a rock climbing thing you didnt bring gear for"
I think I've done Olomana around 31 times since December 2020. Not every time is a peak 3 time. Just this Tuesday I was up there alone and began the climb down Paku'i, but climbed right back up and relaxed on the hammock, something wasn't sitting well with me, I had hesitation that day that I rarely have. Learning to listen to your gut, as May said, it will save you. We all have that intuition, please don't ignore it. Olomana has my utmost respect and fear, I love that mountain. So sorry for this man and his family, this really could be any one of us, on any day.
I've been in hawaii 8 years and my hiking experience is the walk from the front door to the car, PERIOD! Safest hike there is! 🤣
That’s boring
Oh man. Yeah I’ve been on this hike before. It’s definitely not a safe hike. Even going up the first peak is dangerous.
This has happened time & again, so what can be said that hasn't already said about these types of "accidents?"...STAY...OFF...UNSANCTIONED...TRAILS!!!
The ones that lose their lives by risking their lives hiking the trail, I see it as nature's way of weeding out the gene pool of stupid people.
I only did the first peak of Olomana (2013) and near the top of the first peak is totally rock scrambling. I thought it was fun, but then again I'm an avid rock and ice climber. Experienced hiker and experienced rock scrambler are not the same thing.
Some places in nature should just be left alone.
Thank you May for sharing your experience 😊
Thanks to May for sharing her story!
So sorry to hear this! I’ve hiked Olomana countless times when I was in high school but I never went beyond the second peak I guess God had my back 🙌🏻
Sorry I meant First peak
Olomana trail is not treacherous if you don’t go past the first peak. Like she said, use your gut instinct, common sense, and it always depends on recent and present weather conditions.
I did this hike the day after this incident. We only did the first peak and even that was sketchy for us. Take your time and go slow if you do this one people. Beautiful views, but dangerous.
Many of them hike for Instagram pictures not because they love nature
May is a hero for sharing her story amazing and inspiring
Why the Hawaiian had a KAPU SYSTEM has nothing to do with keeping the people from enjoying life be it mauka or makai ! In those days only certain ones gathered certain places you weren’t walking around for a hike or exercising, life kept you in shape . Kahuna was often in the very places these people are going and getting hurt, praying for the people or in thanks giving ! Rules of the ancient often apply for all time !
When I was young and foolishly invincible my husband and I would hike the first peak. That was enough.

Thanks lady for sharing! Titanium ain’t cheap!
Requiring an emergency helicopter about once a week should be a hint. Avoid this hike. There are many safe hikes in Oahu.
When one is willing to risk their lives doing that and end up falling to their death, get no sympathy from me. I do however have sympathy for their loved ones, though.
maybe it's not just "gut feeling" but God telling you not to do it, we cannot waste precious life in such dangerous places, because it will be regreted, sad for her and the person who died
That looks like a steep mountain, not a trail.
bet they don't do that again..
Whether or not there are signs, people will go if there is a trail-no matter how difficult. And people will die.
Sad
HOW ARE THERE NO SIGNS OR SAFTY ROPES OR BANASTERS .... IVE NEVER BEEN SO IDK BUT WHY WHY WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE TO SAVE PEOPLES LIVES
Thought this report would be about the person who actually died but didn't even mention who he was just his age and then went on to talk about someone who fell and survived
Walking on the razors edge after the first peak!
Me a my friend used to run up that trail on Saturday mornings. It's a mountain, IT MUST BE CLIMED!
Gotta be an athlete in life
Prime example of unathletic hiking
That's it! We need to ban mountains!
No hope in rope!
We used to cut the ropes off to prevent novice hikers from hurting themselves....but someone always put it back....why!?
Even the ropes backside of 3rd peak....like a knife edge
People climb mountains, people fall off mountains. Happens all over the world. Freedom sometimes has a cost.
That lady isn’t even using proper climbing gear. 🤷🏼♂️
So, this 'trailhead' is on private property.
Do you need permission to go on property past that?
Public or private property?
They just keep sending out the helicopters! Maybe someone get in touch with who ever is responsible for this "Hike"
You might not like what I say, and whether you agree or not... think like an American in Hawaii and Hawaii will remind you that you are not in America. Thats why they tell you to stay on marked trails. Respect the land here or just be another foreigner who bites the dust while on vacation/visit in Hawaii. Its been one insult after another to our land, our people, and our culture. Theres nothing to cry about...he shouldnt have been there in the first place. Thats the result of disrespecting the aina, and thinking you can. The Aina will answer back. Dont expect hospitality...just the hospital. I am for my Hawaii. Maika'i Mama Hawaii... Imua!! The Kingdom Of Hawaii lives... Ku Kanaka, e Aloha Aina!
Fear God and the arrow that flys by day won’t come near . Read a lil every day #bible

What happened to using common sense? 💀
You live in Hawaii, you live in paradise, why risk your life on a stupid climb? Go to the beach and drink mai-tais or whatever. These people who die like this make me laugh.....
KETANJI is in ...
moa Americans will be falling! 🤣 # lockNload
Wohooooo... Ketanji won the Supreme Court congress election because America loves her so much and she deserves it. 👏🏼🥰👏🏼👏🏼🥰👏🏼👏🏼🥰👏🏼👏🏼🥰👏🏼
@@pacificrules🤙rip 8🎪8 🌈🐸 puppets...#9th t🤣😂
Ya the red hat morons.
I eat okie everyday
Good for you , you're breath must smell like Fish 🤡
They call themselves "EXPERIENCED"HIKERS.BUT THEY'RE ALL HANDICAPPED OR DEAD 😂😆 I'M A ROOKIE HIKER AND NEVER BEEN IN A HIKING ACCIDENT.. ALWAYS TAKE MY COMMON SENSE WITH ME WHERE EVER I GO..NOW THAT'S EXPERIENCE
Don't feel bad May about not listening to your instincts, we do not have free will. Your story is unraveling and your deterministic reality wasn't ready for you to listen to your intuition.
Close the trails 🥺🤣😂
Let's be safe 🙂🤣🤣
We all should be able to fall off a cliff if nature calls! 😆
Taking risks, calculated or otherwise, are human nature, so don’t go stupid and close the trail!!!
