So far, only two Solemates hikes don't have mandatory uphills. This hike has an extra steep part.
I usually prefer to avoid using ropes, but this one would leave just too far to fall. I hung on like crazy.
Here's how that rock looks from a distance, just below and right of center. Slightly lower yet, and right in the center, someone can be seen approaching the rock climb. And to the right of the rock, you can just see the upper part of the white rope going up at 45° to where it was tied.
Here's a close-up of the rock, and rope.
An early group at the Tiki Rock. Dusty hung around long enough to get in this one too.
Here's a look at the Tiki Rock, from where the alternate hike routes merged. A couple hikers that I can't recognize at the distance are headed our way.
One hiker lingered for a while. I bet someone can recognize him/her?
There was a lot of fence to be navigated in this otherwise wild place.
Looking off toward Lualualei, past an attractive ridge.
A closer view of what looks to me like an attractive hike target.
