My mom is a hiker and she always says that one of the most important things is that you need to listen to your own instinct/body and know your limits, no matter how prepared you are or how strong you are, the moment you start having this feeling that maybe you should stop is when you really should stop. It does not matter if you go with more people and you are embarrassed or feel pressured by another person YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST!!
The realest statement EVER !!! I started hiking 4 yrs ago here in southern California an many times my intuition told me to stop an turn around an every time I did it was the best decision, either thunderstorm or rattlesnake, I even heard Bigfoot scream an had fog surround me but I was very close to the car at that point 😩🤣
I've done that hike several times; you have to stay completely focused just before the first peak and from then on. It's a awesome feeling of accomplishment when you're done, but KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
@@aceylaboy9773 No, about 80% of the way to the first peak is relatively easy, straight hiking. After that it's a lot of climbing repelling and a little shimmying.

At least she’s able to come back and warned other hikers that it’s not worth climbing that mountain. Because other who fell and died didn’t have a chance.

I fell over 200 feet off the third peak on April 3, 2013. I too was an avid hiker. I had lots of experience on that trail and many other steep ones but none of that mattered. I was simply walking on the saddle between the second and third peak, closer to the third, when the ground broke beneath me. I tumbled and smashed on cliff, trees, cliff, trees, until I departed my body and experienced death. No human came to save me but God had mercy on me. I was sent back to my body. I somehow found a way to crawl and climb out of the steep cliffside with a torn shoulder, unresponsive arm, broken ribs, shattered shins, herniated spinal cord. God helped me get to safety. I am finally somewhat beginning to physically rehabilitate in a comprehensive manner. Shit sucks. Not worth it

Very true, listen to one’s gut. I used to hike Olomana often as a teenager and young man in the 70s. Sure footed and strong, and hiking as a part of regular life. I sure wouldn’t do it being older and hiking hasn’t been a part of my way of life for decades. Don’t know if Hawai’i’s hiking trails are rated according to difficulty and expertise required, but they should be.
Just came back from Hawaii last week, I’ve hiked in WA,OR,NC,TN,GA. This trail was no joke, it had been raining my friend told me we were going for a “walk” so I wore my new flat bottom adidas, it was also partially raining. Some how I made it to the top with my gf and other friend but it was the first time I had ever been actually scared for my life hiking, also I was on vacation that being said I had ingested some substances directly beforehand as well….again my gf and I were told we were going for a “walk”.

@@biketothetop Hey! Shit happens and humans make mistakes! And sometimes those mistakes are impossible to financially recover from. Especially if you’re spending time in the hospital to recover instead of out earning money. In 2017 my Mom made the “mistake” of falling down a flight of stairs and hit her head so hard on the concrete basement floor that she gave herself a very severe “sub-dermal hematoma”. She needed to be airlifted to emergency brain surgery to save her life, which put her in a hardly responsive coma for 4months. After she got out of the coma she couldn’t keep a job due memory loss issues and now our entire family has to support her. My family set up a GoFundMe to raise funds to go and see my Mom at the hospital which was 180 miles away! I was 17 at the time and had just gotten my 1st full time apprenticeship but couldn’t make any money because I had to visit my Mom in the hospital one town away. I was told multiple times it might be the last time I would see her alive, she was hanging on by a thread and I sacrificed all of my money to be there for those potentially last moments of her life. Friends & family raised enough money to pay for multiple tanks of gas to get there, it $300 each time!! And we raised enough money to even pay for the helicopter that airlifted her. We didn’t have $5000 on hand to dole out to an air ambulance and fire service. SOOOO MANY people helped us out on GoFundMe that I sincerely feel like I need to help in the same way. Maybe if you or your family members make enough “mistakes” you’ll come to the same perspective 🤫
Finally talking about this!! There are rescues that happen multiple times a week, sometimes multiple a day on weekends. Tourists and those unaware of windward weather hike after heavy rains or on bad weather days. Super dangerous!! On Maunawili side the trail is closed, but people still keep going! It's been damaged and trashed by tourists, the surrounding area can't recover.
Everything told her not to go her car wouldn’t start she calls an Uber. She had “a feeling” not to continue. Some people don’t listen period! Risking you’re life not worth it you think?
@@garbageman9145 hahahaha....ya birds love the taste of ashes....you just keep telling yourself that...ok. Wherever helps you sleep at night....I know when i think about the book "the annals of Rome" by tacitus...it keeps me awake sometimes....
I spent 28 years mountaineering. And I always found it surprising the number of people that would attempt a serious climb or even an advanced trail without properly preparing their skill set or physical strength. It's a problem that seems to show up on the easiest route up a peak. I've seen it on Half Dome, Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier, and even on Denali in Alaska where they actually screen climbers before issuing permits. Just a little bit of training can make all of the difference.
Life tip: when you find yourself in a dangerous position, if there’s any place you can get to where you can safely relax your body for a duration of time giving you time to think, do it, and realize you don’t have to panic because as long as you don’t move in that safe position, you’re safe. Now spend that time thinking how to get out of where you are safely
The location is beautiful. Plenty of good and legal places to go scrambling and spelunking. Don’t trespass. No nanny nonsense, keep all adventures legal. No tresspass private property.
I mean this is a weird comment, this "hike" is a climb as much as a hike. You have to be ready for that. Yes for a lot, this is out of their skill level, but for a lot this isn't as well. Hikes range in difficulty and danger and you have to have a realistic and honest assessment of your abilities vs the paths challenges. Saying "people are still gonna do it" sure and people die on everest yet every year 700+ people safely summit. It's not the mountians or trails that kill you its ego and stubbornness.
I’m hiker myself and travel around. I knew it’s not that worth it. I just go to safe spot and take pictures. It still look nice and good. Don’t take risk to get good pictures. You’re already there. Take the pictures. Then hike back. That’s it. You’re already there. That’s good enough. Don’t take a risk like this. Don’t.
@Joana Castro There are only a handful of actually climbing sections and they are 5.1-5.2, at best. Nothing crazy. What is difficult about this hike is the exposure of route and the drop in many sections. Mistakes can be unforgiving.
@@Saturnia2014 Its not an bot He pops up so often I’m sure some google employees checked his activity’s. .. at least is an very good bot (but than you sell the bot)
I did this hike a few times when I was a kid never went to the third peak very sketchy.There are moments you dare to look down left to right at 1000 foot drops into an abyss if low clouds on a very narrow ridge trail.I look back and think why?
@Limeade When I was a kid 8 yrs old my step dad took us to Colorado and we drove into the Rocky mountains to go trout fishing and there was this windy narrow road that dropped off straight down a cliff with two way traffic.Scared shitless!
I did this hike once and decided to turn back after the second pea. Super beautiful but risky! If it starts raining while you're on the trail you would be in an extremely dangerous situation.
I grew up playing in the woods…. One thing I learned at a relatively young age, is you don’t take unnecessary risks when your deep in the woods far from home.
Tell me you're filipino without telling me you're filipino... Joking aside, she's very, very, lucky to be back on her feet. When outdoors, have a little bit of fear and tons of respect for mother nature and she'll treat you just right. Know your limitations, it'll keep you alive longer.
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 a technical rock/ice climber since 2010. Experienced hiker and experienced rock scrambler are not the same thing.
I am not an avid hiker but I love climbing mountains and hiking. I thought it was an easy hike but it was not. I visited Hawaii back in end of september 2021 and decided to go on the Olomana 3 peaks. Even before I got to the top of the first peak, it was an extremely difficult hike with lots of climbing on rocks. I mean LOTS of rock climbing. I stopped after I got to the top of the first peak and decided it was too dangerous. On my way down, I nearly tilted sideways as I was climbing down the rocks, and I almost fell down a cliff. Who knows how long the fall would have been, and I'm glad I'm alive. I'm so grateful for the miracle and that I made it out alive. I also slammed by bottom to the rocks as I'm climbing down the mountain and injured it badly. I couldn't walk for a couple of days. This hike is very dangerous, please be very careful and pay attention.
I'm not afraid of any of these dangers! As long as it's video with me on the sofa. Glad the lady made it. And mahalo to all the hikers who post videos of the amazing, scary places they handle.
yes, thank god she survived. and thank god for letting her fall in the first place, and thank god for the millions of dollars of medical bills that the insurance company not going to pay.
Most (or at least many) rock climbing deaths occur while climbers are on trails, rappelling or other activities that are not "peak difficulty" and where mental mistakes are more likely to happen. As others stated, this was not a hike. As climbing goes it doesn't look that difficult, but easy climbing on wet rocks without any protection has potentially fatal consequences. Not worth it.
"In the morning, my car won't start" That was her first sign. 18 years ago, my 3 siblings wanted to go to this community swimming pool. I LOVE swimming pool and I always say yes when they invite me.... But somehow, that day, my GUT feeling was telling me not to go. I tried to tell my siblings it was not a good idea and I feel like something is off, but they kept ignoring me and we went anyways. That day, my brother had an argument with a drunk person at the pool over a floatie. He pulled a gun on my brother and shot at my brother. My brother is fine. He wasn't hit. We all survived. But I remember that day vividly because I had this very very strong feeling that we should not go. Always trust your gut, specially if it's a very strong "gut feeling" Life is mysterious and there are things we just can't explain
This has happened to two of my friends, both of whom moved from Texas to Colorado. Fortunately, both survived but were really beat up and bedridden for a few weeks. I’m lucky to have never fallen, I used to hike a lot. Glad she is ok
Rest up May! I’m glad you’re okay miss. People ask me why I ride dirt bikes / race motocross & am so heavy on board sports. We’re thrill seekers but it takes a split second to have everything go wrong. Do it for the love, don’t be upset knowing the outcome however know when & if risk overrides reward. Sending prayers May I’m glad you’re a tough cookie!
Seems like it needs to be clearer if this is a HIKE or CLIMB. I realize CLIMBERS will HIKE to a destination- but if it is a CLIMBING destination that needs to more clear. There are definitely shades of gray in there- but the difference could be life/death for people depending on their abilities.
Many great things have been accomplished by disregarding one's gut feeling and conquering the fear. To say that a person should always listen to their gut means for some people they will always live in fear of danger even if it is irrational danger. Driving on public roads is the real danger, not sharks or spiders.
This applies to when you’ve prepared yourself mentally or physically to accomplish something. Like an Alex Honnold or Michael Jordan. She seemed like a casual hiker.
This does not change the fact its an unfortunate situation but regardless in anything the more you focus on how things can go wrong and scared you are the more likely its going to go wrong. Being calm and focused is key to climbing especially
My mother, her boyfriend, & I used to hike years ago during the late Spring and Summer months early in the morning to stay physically healthy before it gotten really hot as we would hike up at Squaw Peak here in Phoenix if I recall that was only 1,200ft. up in elevation. We didn't hike up all the way of course as we only carried bottles of water with us as we had a backpack with some supplies just in case we get injured and the scenery was gorgeous! Just because it wasn't at the top doesn't mean it's rewarding of your life for your body to be majorly injured just to see the beauty of a scenery on top of the mountain. The woman made a big mistake not following how her body felt inside her gut after reading what the top comment said as your instincts are your body's way of protecting you from the adrenaline rush as the woman pushed herself too far without knowing what the consequences may be. I've also checked the mountain height as it's 1,643ft. high and can see why she went way too far as that's quite high of a climb without the special equipment you need without getting hurt along the air thinner and temp lowering down to 5°F which may affect the mood of her body feeling cooler. What's most important is that she's still alive and okay which is a relief to see as being a hiker comes with lots of responsibility and physical strength in your legs that you have to train many months and possibly years for.
You have to know your limits, this isn't a hike at the top it's bouldering. And NEVER trust a rope that you just find already there, who know's how long it's been there and how much life it has left.
For those of you who are worried about this hike: Most of the danger is the third peak. The first two peaks are relatively low risk, but still be careful. The third peak requires a lot of risky rock climbing and using ropes to descend down two large faces of rock. The hike is absolutely worth it, just be careful and know your own limits. I would say if you have a lot of experience and are mindful about risk then definitely go for the third peak! Otherwise, spend some time elsewhere and perhaps get some bouldering/rappelling experience under your belt as well as make sure you are fit, prepared, and have good balance.
@@haveawonderfulday279 "The third peak requires a lot of risky rock climbing and using ropes to descend down two large faces of rock." Reading comprehension. Some people lack it.
Me and my family hike this every year. People like her make this seem unsafe, this is a very beautiful mountain top I highly suggest anyone that is physically FIT to try it!!!!
She seems pretty fit? She’s an avid hiker. She missed a foot hole. Unpredictable. Everyone makes mistakes. Seems like she just wants people to be aware.
@@DanniJade she absolutely does not seem fit. Look at her shoulders. Zero muscle development and you expect her to be able to rock climb? She probably can't even do a single pull-up. She may be a fine hiker but climbing is not hiking and you can tell she doesn't do anything for her upper body. Recipe for disaster.
@@JazzFlop212💜 No, I believe it was pride that drove her to continue climbing. I believe it was God who caused her car not to start that morning and who gave her that feeling that she should turn back. It was God that spared her life! There are times in life when the Lord will allow us to do what we want to do even though He warned us not to and we suffer the consequences.
When I was in the Marine Corps I just got to my unit in Kaneohe and a fellow Marine that had been there longer took me on a hike on some beaten path real close to the pali lookout where there was some B17 plane wreckage. I thought it was going to be your basic run of the mill trail hike but it was insane. Side scrolling underneath waterfalls where you had to keep your feet completely sideways because the ledge was too small for your foot. Any slight slip you plunge to your death onto rocks 100s of ft down. At one point we were pulling ourselves up the the side of the mountain by grabbing as much of the vegetation as we could in our hands to climb up. I remember multiple times my inner voice telling me it’s not worth the risk and I pushed through it anyway. Absolutely insane, I’m extremely lucky to be here today. Too many stupid adventures.
Thats what she gets for hiking solely for the purpose of bragging rights. I dont post anything i hike or accomplish. I dont have ig or fb. Or anything stupid like that. Its people like her that are ruining hiking for others. Stay home. Do what you know and are good at like selfies in the mirror or selfies in the car. Not everyone belongs out there or deserve the right to be out there.

After she got out of the coma she couldn’t keep a job due memory loss issues and now our entire family has to support her.
My family set up a GoFundMe to raise funds to go and see my Mom at the hospital which was 180 miles away! I was 17 at the time and had just gotten my 1st full time apprenticeship but couldn’t make any money because I had to visit my Mom in the hospital one town away. I was told multiple times it might be the last time I would see her alive, she was hanging on by a thread and I sacrificed all of my money to be there for those potentially last moments of her life.
Friends & family raised enough money to pay for multiple tanks of gas to get there, it $300 each time!! And we raised enough money to even pay for the helicopter that airlifted her. We didn’t have $5000 on hand to dole out to an air ambulance and fire service.
SOOOO MANY people helped us out on GoFundMe that I sincerely feel like I need to help in the same way.
Maybe if you or your family members make enough “mistakes” you’ll come to the same perspective

Finally talking about this!! There are rescues that happen multiple times a week, sometimes multiple a day on weekends. Tourists and those unaware of windward weather hike after heavy rains or on bad weather days. Super dangerous!! On Maunawili side the trail is closed, but people still keep going! It's been damaged and trashed by tourists, the surrounding area can't recover.

Always blame the tourist....

I spent 28 years mountaineering. And I always found it surprising the number of people that would attempt a serious climb or even an advanced trail without properly preparing their skill set or physical strength. It's a problem that seems to show up on the easiest route up a peak. I've seen it on Half Dome, Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier, and even on Denali in Alaska where they actually screen climbers before issuing permits. Just a little bit of training can make all of the difference.

Exactly. They be like, "I'll show them then I'll have ALL the clout".
I mean this is a weird comment, this "hike" is a climb as much as a hike. You have to be ready for that. Yes for a lot, this is out of their skill level, but for a lot this isn't as well. Hikes range in difficulty and danger and you have to have a realistic and honest assessment of your abilities vs the paths challenges. Saying "people are still gonna do it" sure and people die on everest yet every year 700+ people safely summit. It's not the mountians or trails that kill you its ego and stubbornness.
That gutt feeling is something else. Had it twice in my life and bad things happened both
I’m hiker myself and travel around. I knew it’s not that worth it. I just go to safe spot and take pictures. It still look nice and good. Don’t take risk to get good pictures. You’re already there. Take the pictures. Then hike back. That’s it. You’re already there. That’s good enough. Don’t take a risk like this. Don’t.
She didn't being any helmet, no backpack, no climbing equipment, no first aid kit. She wasn't prepared
Intuition is a powerful thing; even more powerful if you heed it.
I'm an avid hiker. Hike 1000s of miles every year. This hike looks absolutely insane.
@Joana Castro looks more like a hike to me, looks like fairly easy terrain to traverse but yeah at some point the two begin to blend a bit
@Joana Castro There are only a handful of actually climbing sections and they are 5.1-5.2, at best. Nothing crazy. What is difficult about this hike is the exposure of route and the drop in many sections. Mistakes can be unforgiving.
Looks more like mountain climbing🧗♀️….than hiking.
She had no business doing this taking pictures the whole time she's clearly not an experienced climber, know your limits people!!!

I did this hike a few times when I was a kid never went to the third peak very sketchy.There are moments you dare to look down left to right at 1000 foot drops into an abyss if low clouds on a very narrow ridge trail.I look back and think why?
@Limeade When I was a kid 8 yrs old my step dad took us to Colorado and we drove into the Rocky mountains to go trout fishing and there was this windy narrow road that dropped off straight down a cliff with two way traffic.Scared shitless!
I did this hike once and decided to turn back after the second pea. Super beautiful but risky! If it starts raining while you're on the trail you would be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Not worth loosing your daaaaammmmm life!!! I lived here all my life, and know not to go up there.

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 a technical rock/ice climber since 2010. Experienced hiker and experienced rock scrambler are not the same thing.
Glad she’s OK! Don’t be discouraged just know your limits! 🙏🏻
I've never considered a hike that could cost you your life with one slip a healthy pursuit or recreational.
Always listen to your gut feeling because that's the Holy Spirit guiding and protecting you from harm.
I just photoshop myself on someone else’s picture problem solved ! But seriously be safe
Appreciate her honesty
I am not an avid hiker but I love climbing mountains and hiking. I thought it was an easy hike but it was not. I visited Hawaii back in end of september 2021 and decided to go on the Olomana 3 peaks. Even before I got to the top of the first peak, it was an extremely difficult hike with lots of climbing on rocks. I mean LOTS of rock climbing. I stopped after I got to the top of the first peak and decided it was too dangerous. On my way down, I nearly tilted sideways as I was climbing down the rocks, and I almost fell down a cliff. Who knows how long the fall would have been, and I'm glad I'm alive. I'm so grateful for the miracle and that I made it out alive. I also slammed by bottom to the rocks as I'm climbing down the mountain and injured it badly. I couldn't walk for a couple of days. This hike is very dangerous, please be very careful and pay attention.
I'm not afraid of any of these dangers!
As long as it's video with me on the sofa.
Glad the lady made it. And mahalo to all the hikers who post videos of the amazing, scary places they handle.
I actually did that hike a long time ago when I was in the Navy. There were definitely a lot of climbing parts with ropes.
This was well-written and put together. Congratulations to "May." God was looking out for her!

Most (or at least many) rock climbing deaths occur while climbers are on trails, rappelling or other activities that are not "peak difficulty" and where mental mistakes are more likely to happen. As others stated, this was not a hike. As climbing goes it doesn't look that difficult, but easy climbing on wet rocks without any protection has potentially fatal consequences. Not worth it.
Wow glad she is making a recovery
"In the morning, my car won't start"
That was her first sign.
18 years ago, my 3 siblings wanted to go to this community swimming pool. I LOVE swimming pool and I always say yes when they invite me.... But somehow, that day, my GUT feeling was telling me not to go. I tried to tell my siblings it was not a good idea and I feel like something is off, but they kept ignoring me and we went anyways.
That day, my brother had an argument with a drunk person at the pool over a floatie. He pulled a gun on my brother and shot at my brother. My brother is fine. He wasn't hit. We all survived.
But I remember that day vividly because I had this very very strong feeling that we should not go.
Always trust your gut, specially if it's a very strong "gut feeling"
Life is mysterious and there are things we just can't explain
“I never listen to my gut feeling” She’ll probably end up doing something soon enough that ends up the same way (but worse) and was 1000% preventable.
Isn’t it common sense that one should not hike steep trails when it’s wet?
This has happened to two of my friends, both of whom moved from Texas to Colorado. Fortunately, both survived but were really beat up and bedridden for a few weeks. I’m lucky to have never fallen, I used to hike a lot. Glad she is ok
This is why I NEVER recommend going pass the First peak. It’s not worth it after the first one tbh.
Rest up May! I’m glad you’re okay miss. People ask me why I ride dirt bikes / race motocross & am so heavy on board sports. We’re thrill seekers but it takes a split second to have everything go wrong. Do it for the love, don’t be upset knowing the outcome however know when & if risk overrides reward. Sending prayers May I’m glad you’re a tough cookie!
Seems like it needs to be clearer if this is a HIKE or CLIMB. I realize CLIMBERS will HIKE to a destination- but if it is a CLIMBING destination that needs to more clear. There are definitely shades of gray in there- but the difference could be life/death for people depending on their abilities.
It's crazy to me, how the American government pays more per-capita on healthcare then Canada, yet citizens are still left with a bill for treatment.

I’m so glad you are alive ma’am
☠️Why doesn’t anyone post a big sign stating the great danger & no trespassing??
I’m really glad she is alive to tell her story.
Many great things have been accomplished by disregarding one's gut feeling and conquering the fear. To say that a person should always listen to their gut means for some people they will always live in fear of danger even if it is irrational danger. Driving on public roads is the real danger, not sharks or spiders.
This applies to when you’ve prepared yourself mentally or physically to accomplish something. Like an Alex Honnold or Michael Jordan. She seemed like a casual hiker.
Well said.
This does not change the fact its an unfortunate situation but regardless in anything the more you focus on how things can go wrong and scared you are the more likely its going to go wrong. Being calm and focused is key to climbing especially
I don't go in ocean anymore either.
Her gut feeling was her angels and guides talking to her. God bless her ♥️ love and light.
My mother, her boyfriend, & I used to hike years ago during the late Spring and Summer months early in the morning to stay physically healthy before it gotten really hot as we would hike up at Squaw Peak here in Phoenix if I recall that was only 1,200ft. up in elevation. We didn't hike up all the way of course as we only carried bottles of water with us as we had a backpack with some supplies just in case we get injured and the scenery was gorgeous! Just because it wasn't at the top doesn't mean it's rewarding of your life for your body to be majorly injured just to see the beauty of a scenery on top of the mountain. The woman made a big mistake not following how her body felt inside her gut after reading what the top comment said as your instincts are your body's way of protecting you from the adrenaline rush as the woman pushed herself too far without knowing what the consequences may be. I've also checked the mountain height as it's 1,643ft. high and can see why she went way too far as that's quite high of a climb without the special equipment you need without getting hurt along the air thinner and temp lowering down to 5°F which may affect the mood of her body feeling cooler. What's most important is that she's still alive and okay which is a relief to see as being a hiker comes with lots of responsibility and physical strength in your legs that you have to train many months and possibly years for.
You have to know your limits, this isn't a hike at the top it's bouldering. And NEVER trust a rope that you just find already there, who know's how long it's been there and how much life it has left.
I agree, the long rope in this video looks sketchy
I'm glad you survived. It is not worth it. 🙏💜
“One wrong move, and you’re dead”. You could be hit by a careless person running a red light or a drunk driver today. Go out and take risks. Live life
I have a feeling you haven’t survived much or you can afford to deal with the aftermath lol.

I hope the young adventurous folks will listen to her and not suffer the same way or worse. God bless her for speaking out.
The reality is:
It's not worth it: *TO WARNS HUMANS*
They will still doing it.
For selfies??????
Climbing isn’t for anyone. A lot of people don’t know the difference between hiking and actual climbing (bouldering, etc.)
So she went into nature and expected safety?....
As a former rock climber watching people relying on sketchy looking ropes placed by other people who knows how long ago gave me the creeps.
For those of you who are worried about this hike:
Most of the danger is the third peak. The first two peaks are relatively low risk, but still be careful. The third peak requires a lot of risky rock climbing and using ropes to descend down two large faces of rock. The hike is absolutely worth it, just be careful and know your own limits. I would say if you have a lot of experience and are mindful about risk then definitely go for the third peak! Otherwise, spend some time elsewhere and perhaps get some bouldering/rappelling experience under your belt as well as make sure you are fit, prepared, and have good balance.
@Limeade i'm not
How is rappelling going to help you for a hike?

@@DanniJade what ? Dont u have eyes? Shes overweight and 4ft.high 🤣😅
@@DanniJade she absolutely does not seem fit. Look at her shoulders. Zero muscle development and you expect her to be able to rock climb? She probably can't even do a single pull-up.

When I was in the Marine Corps I just got to my unit in Kaneohe and a fellow Marine that had been there longer took me on a hike on some beaten path real close to the pali lookout where there was some B17 plane wreckage. I thought it was going to be your basic run of the mill trail hike but it was insane. Side scrolling underneath waterfalls where you had to keep your feet completely sideways because the ledge was too small for your foot. Any slight slip you plunge to your death onto rocks 100s of ft down. At one point we were pulling ourselves up the the side of the mountain by grabbing as much of the vegetation as we could in our hands to climb up. I remember multiple times my inner voice telling me it’s not worth the risk and I pushed through it anyway. Absolutely insane, I’m extremely lucky to be here today. Too many stupid adventures.
