Garden of the Gods

This has nothing to do with hunting, but I know some hunters might have been out there before and might be able to help.

Can someone tell me how big the boulders get out there? We're into bouldering (rock climbing w/o ropes) and based on the pictures I've seen, it looks like there's some potential out there. Mahalo!

Not expecting anything as big as in the picture below.

Get plenty other rocks to play spider man on! The area has historical significance to the Hawaiian people.

Bouldering or "playing spider man" doesn't do any damage to the rock. I don't understand what your concern is.

"According to Hawaiian lore, this windswept landscape is the result of a contest between two kahuna (priests) from Lanai and Molokai. Each was challenged to keep a fire burning on their respective island longer than the other, and the winner's island would be rewarded with great abundance. The Lanai kahuna, Kawelo, used every piece of vegetation in Keahiakawelo to keep his fire burning, which is why this area is so barren today."


It is KAPU to disturb the rocks, I believe hanging from them will be considered disturbing. One of my other hobbies is throwing net and I encounter a bunch of sacred areas while cruising. Please respect as I have been taught to! Mahalo!

Mahalo for sharing

No Problem! Thank you for asking first, I'm glad we could save you some unwanted trouble.

NorthShore- It spiked my interests so I Googled Bouldering In Hawaii and it seems you're in the location with the most sites. Interesting! I thought it was just something we did as kids like climb trees!

Glad you checked it out. It's a pretty big sport on the mainland and it's been growing here on the Islands. Here's a few pics from a spot out on the westside of Oahu: http://www.unrealhawaii.com/2011/04/the-arch/ We're always looking for new spots and restrictions imposed by the military, state or other is often a problem.

That's some crazy stuff, Thank you for sharing!

TRUE DAT CRAZZZZYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!
