Olomana Trail (Three Peaks Trail) - How to Hike All Three Peaks | Oahu, HI

[@Thomas_MKE]

I want to thank you both for braving these peaks, and filming the trek so thoroughly. I consider myself pretty agile and fairly athletic, but there is no way I'm going anywhere near those 3 peaks. Thank you for showing me what I'm missing. Definitely reduced my FOMO. I'm glad you made it back down safely too! 🙂

[@LiveThatAdventure]

So glad that you enjoyed it! i think that we made the video for not only the people that would want to do it, but also so that the people that wouldn't can still enjoy the crazy experience. I must say though, it was hard to do this one justice. 😎🤙

[@eczema78]

Most thoughtful video I've seen so far! Thank you!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Thank you! that hike is wild, but it is so much fun!

[@ervinslens]

This looks majestic, challenging but simply gorgeous! This was filmed brilliantly my friend!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Thank you so much! It was such an epic hike. So glad that you enjoyed the video. 😎🤙

[@robertmines5577]

That branch by the cliff at @3:31 saved my life. I hit a patch of gravel down-hiking that scramble and started rolling until I hit my head on it. It's not clear from the footage, but there's a sharp drop after it.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Woah! That's scary! Looks like mother nature had your back that day! Glad to hear you made it through! Sometimes the not as sketchy parts of the hike that will get ya! Stay safe out there!

[@reddiver7293]

Great video! Mahalo. Been living on Oahu for over 55 years and never climbed Olomana. Seeing those drops and my fear of heights tells me I was right to avoid doing so. So your video really filled out a portion of where I live!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@reddiver7293 thank you so much! Glad that we could take you up there with us. It is a pretty wild hike for sure. We are Rick climbers so it wasn't too bad, but we can definitely see where it could be a bit outside of most people's comfort zones 😁

[@reddiver7293]

@@LiveThatAdventure There are a number of videos of folks walking the really dicey parts of the Ko'olau ridgeline. Happy for guys (and ladies) like you that traverse sections like this successfully. With GoPro, the things this couch potato gets to experience! Thank you.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@reddiver7293 sounds like something to put on the list for our next visit! Looking forward to taking you along on that one too! 😎🤙

[@reddiver7293]

@@LiveThatAdventure See you guys then!

[@youtubeguy99]

This is one crazy hike, no way would I ever trust those old ropes left behind with my life.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

It is a wild one! I agree with you on the road. We always try to never fully weight ropes like this. You need to have control on the rocks with the other hand and just kind of use it as a helper.

[@shellchenonceau6987]

You two are super human! 😅 you made this hard trail look do-able...but I know I couldnt. (Scared of heights.) Glad you gave some good tips for other hikers. 👍

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Thank you so much! This trail was definitely super challenging. A fear of heights would probably put this on the no go list. As much as we try to capture the experience, it was hard to do justice to how amazing but also sketchy this trail is. The good thing is that there are plenty of other trails on Oahu that are gorgeous and not as dangerous. Have a great weekend! 😎🤙

[@podrozniczaendorfina]

great hike

[@LiveThatAdventure]

One of our favorites for sure! 😎👍

[@Lucienlol1]

I only did the first peak back in 2019, but on my way down it was pouring rain and it was sketchy af ... Don't think I could survive if I did all three

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Yikes! You made a good choice! In the rain the 3rd peak would be terrifying!

[@onocoffee]

Wow. My cousin and I did this years ago. It was pretty hairy but this looked worse than I remember! We summited right around 7pm which means we had stunning views in the firey glow of sunset. Amazing. Of course, it also meant we had to get down the trail in the dark (we had forgotten flashlights). It was a brutal descent when you can't see the roots. Great video!

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed the video! It sounds like you had a pretty memorable experience up there! Sunset must have been incredible, but I can't imagine how sketchy that way back must have felt. Glad you made it safe! We recently got caught on a sketchy Oahu hike in the dark, luckily we had headlights and were past the worst part, but it was still pretty wild! 😎🤙

[@rudyray6541]

The World's tiniest Rope is a classic...Super hike you guys

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Thanks man! Ya that rope cracked us up. The only way it could have been any better is if it was dental floss 🤣

[@second_life2020]

this was beautifully captured! Putting this on my list

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@second_life2020 thank you so much! It's a wild time. Be careful up there!

[@stellashepherd3229]

The sketchiest hike I’ve ever done was Angel Landing in Zion National Park in Utah. But what made that scarier for me was other people on the trail trying to pass us going the other way when it was much to narrow to be going with the carelessness for others I was seeing. But this trail in Hawaii makes the Terrifying 25 in NH look like a cake walk. I’d probably have stopped at the first peak. I love a good scramble but I’m not familiar with Hawaii and how slippery the soil and rocks might be. That’s me being cautious. I personally just wouldn’t risk it. But thank you for sharing, I loved going along for your hike. People think I’m crazy for going up an Adirondack high peak in winter, but that’s experience and familiarity for me. I know what to expect and prepare for.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Angels Landing is one of our favorites! Passing can definitely be a lil scary at times though. That is what led to the unfortunate permit system that's in place now. That Hawaii mud can get really slippery. 3 peaks is challenging on a dry day, but it would be super dangerous in the mud, and with the amount of rain Hawaii gets, mud is common. There is definitely no shame to turning back at the first peak. You have definitely peaked (pun intended) out interest in the terrifying 25! Any recommendations?

[@stellashepherd3229]

@@LiveThatAdventure I love Zion National Park. It’s one of my favorite places. If I had Angel landing to myself I would have been fine. 😄 The Holt Trail to Mt Cardigan is one of my favorites for challenging. I love all of them that I have done, about 12 so far. If you’re interested in watching a KZbin channel that gives you a good idea of those hikes in NH there’s one called Brian Hikes all day that’s a lot of fun. He does Adirondack High Peaks as well. He has so much joy and enthusiasm and you get a pretty good idea of the challenges of the hike but also the beauty and fun.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

@@stellashepherd3229 would that be a dream come true! ♥️

[@stellashepherd3229]

@@LiveThatAdventure I hope you get to make that dream come true someday. 😊

[@LocoDeerSlayer]

This used to be my after work trail run. Round trip including all three peaks would take 1.5 hours. First time you do this hike it is a bit daunting but then you start to learn it. One of the best short hikes I found on the island, but there are a couple of spots where you slip...you die.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Wow man! We are jealous. That would be such an epic trail to be able to do regularly. It does have its intense moments but it is so much fun! Do you have any other recommendations?

[@lucysophiepooter3]

I did this trail with my boyfriend and his friend about 30 years ago and it was so scary. They didn’t warn me, but I was a trooper and cried the whole time. Ha ha.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

We can definitely see why you would be sketched out up there! Hopefully you at least got to enjoy the view a little! Glad you made it back safe! 😎🤙

[@AtortAerials]

Always thought pua mana mana was by crouching ?

[@LiveThatAdventure]

I believe that one is, we havent done it before. This one is different. :)

[@gutsurfer]

People die on that hike a lot. Like 1-2 a year. It’s not a long hike either… just dangerous.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Yes that's super unfortunate. It is a pretty sketchy hike. We are hoping that people will know if they are up to the challenge after seeing the video.

What’s geo cashing

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.

[@stantheman5163]

Great video, but you didn´t finish the hike! Next time go down the chimney on the far side of Ahiki (3rd peak). You basically have to stem down the whole way, but it is doable and fun. From the bottom you can hike your way through the golf course, or around it, back to your car. There are trails through the ¨jungle¨ on either side of the peaks that leads the way back. Only experienced rock climbers should try this. I don´t agree with leaving sketchy ropes up on this trail. It only gives false security for novice climbers. I would never rely on them for safety.

[@LiveThatAdventure]

Wow that sounds super spicy! We do have plenty of rock climbing experience, but that has to be a wild climb down!

[@JhunCabahug]

Wow

[@LiveThatAdventure]

It's a wild one for sure!

[@Anadrol88]

I'd rather make pics with my drone :D

[@LiveThatAdventure]

We wish we would have brought ours up there, but it was lil windy to fly that day

[@thisisgettingold]

Hardest 2/10ths of a mile you've ever hiked, said no one who's ever done hard class 4 summits in Colorado.

Yea Colorado has some beast mode stuff for sure!
