Kuli’ou’ou Ridge Hike crossing to Pu'u O Kona Trailhead was my most epic Hawaii hike to date! Described by HTMclub as a "strenuous hike, extremely steep, and occasionally narrow and precipitous ridge hike with a few rope sections." What an adventure!
It was windy and rainfall could be seen at a distance so only Grant O., Sherry C., Mary D. and myself continued to Pu'u O Kona Trailhead (2,202 ft) from Kuli'ou'ou Ridge Summit (2,028ft). I installed my Hillsound Trail Crampons (Affiliate Link) which is highly recommended as these also an extra velcro strap for a secure fit. There may be some muddy, slippery spots on the ridge especially if there has been recent rainfall.
