One of the three anchors. I remember that on this anchor we could not get the bolts to tighten down. The rock was so soft you could drill it without the hammer. We backed them up with the piton and it seemed very bomber.

Brian following up the summit ridge. Lots of vegetation on this route. But it was still loads of fun.
Bushwack anyone? A fun adventure though.

Brian on Pitch one of Stranded in Paradise. The rock here was very poor with lots of loose holds. I remember much of it was difficult to protect.
View of Kalalea Mountain (Kong) from Anahola. Its the peak in the center that resembles the face of King Kong.
The route follows this approximate line. Look for the bolted anchors. There are three of them.
