Thanks for the video, I really appreciate someone showing the flora from these remote places. Nice to see more natives in this one waiting already for the next part 👍👍
When I was 18, long long ago, my friend and I ran this whole trail barefoot. There were no rope assists then. I remember scrambling and clawing to get up to the lookout at the end. Strawberry guava was our only refreshment on the way.
Wow somewhere that has more weeds than New Zealand. Are there goats there? I remember they were a big problem on the big Island when I went there 20 years ago.
Yeah it's really tragic how many weeds are in Hawaii. Whole forests composed of non native species are the norm rather than the exception. There are goats in Hawaii, but I don't see them very often. In my experience they tend to stick more to the cliff faces and drier ridges, but they are still a problem in the islands, especially since steep cliffs out of the range of most other grazers are the last refuge for so many endangered plant species here.

Thanks I appreciate hearing that. I'm hoping I can get part 2 up within a week.

Crazy. I can't imagine doing the hike today without the ropes. I have to admit, for all the trouble it causes, strawberry guava is pretty tasty.
