We climbed a mountain with Chris. Well, we made it pretty far up as it was toasty. The hike was fun. It was challenging but doable. The views were fantastic. The highlight was Chris. We chatted all of the way up about local places, things to do, life and such. He really embodies the spirit of Hawaii with a positive attitude and genuine friendliness. If you have an opportunity to do the hike, by all means, give it a go. You will not regret the sites and the quality of the guide.
