点评:Advice on parking and safety for the trail (read other reviews about the beauty).
PARKING: Park next to the bus stop shelters on Auloa Rd. before the street turns into Loop Rd. It's 0.8 mile walk from the bust stop on Auloa Rd. just south of H-61. You'll pass the golf course guard station. Park off the paved shoulder. About 3 cars fit where we parked.
TIMING: We arrived @ 9am on a Friday with a slight chance of rain. Parked without an issue. We passed about 10 people coming back (as we ascended), but passed 20+ on the descent. Honestly not as busy as I expected.
CLIMBING: Make sure you're comfortable climbing! I suspect people get hurt/in trouble when they climb past their limits or go to fast. Stay in control. A few reminders:
1) Hike with someone for safety.
2) Come prepared: boots, water, first aid kit, bug spray/nets
3) Smart bouldering/climbing: 3 points of contact with the rock face or rope at all times.
4) On the steep descents--face the rock; don't face out. Facing the rock will allow your body weight to be more stacked over your hips and feet to prevent slipping (leverage the dexterity of your toes and the full foot tread of your boots). Use your hiking buddy to spot your footing coming down.
5) If you wear gloves--make sure they fit (gloves with wrist wraps ideal). Gloves may provide better grip and save your skin, but there can be less friction between your sweaty hand and the glove interior than there is between the glove and rope.
WEATHER: It sprinkled (very light) when we went up and it didn't cause much issue. BUT, there are deep ruts in the trail where you can see water will rush down. The red dirt is hard as rock, so water sits on top causing a slick surface versus a muddy one. We don't have a first-hand account of this, but we heard it's a $4000 helicopter ride to be saved from the top.
翻译:关于停车和小径安全的建议(阅读其他关于美景的评论)。
停车:将车停在 Auloa Rd 的公交车站候车亭旁边。在街道变成 Loop Rd 之前。从 Auloa Rd 的巴士站步行 0.8 英里。就在 H-61 以南。你会经过高尔夫球场警卫站。停在铺好的路肩上。我们停的地方大约有 3 辆车。
时间:我们在周五上午 9 点到达,可能会下雨。停车没有问题。我们经过了大约 10 个人回来(在我们上升时),但在下降时经过了 20 多人。老实说,没有我想象的那么忙。
攀爬:确保您能够舒适地攀爬!我怀疑人们在越过极限或走得太快时会受伤/遇到麻烦。保持控制。几点提醒:
1) 为了安全起见,与某人一起远足。
2) 准备好:靴子、水、急救箱、杀虫剂/蚊帐
3) 智能抱石/攀岩:始终与岩面或绳索的 3 个接触点。
4)在陡峭的下坡路上——面对岩石;不要露面。面向岩石将使您的体重更多地集中在您的臀部和脚上,以防止打滑(利用脚趾的灵活性和靴子的全脚踏)。使用您的徒步伙伴来发现您的立足点。
5) 如果您戴手套——确保它们合适(带腕带的手套是理想的)。手套可能会提供更好的抓握力并保护您的皮肤,但与手套和绳索之间的摩擦相比,出汗的手和手套内部之间的摩擦可能更小。
天气:我们上去的时候下了点小雨(很轻),但没有造成太大问题。但是,小径上有很深的车辙,您可以看到水会冲下来。红色的泥土坚硬如岩石,因此水位于顶部,形成光滑的表面而不是泥泞的表面。我们没有这方面的第一手资料,但我们听说从山顶上下来要花 4000 美元乘坐直升机。
