Hey @wilmut31 , so sorry to hear that. Hope your hike back out was ok and you were able to get back before sunset. Don't feel bad, I totally know the feeling. When I first started hiking, I was terrified of heights! It took me 5 years of trying to get used to high ledges to get to this point (in the video). Glad you were able to enjoy the trail in spite of your experience at Crawler's Ledge. Take care and stay safe/healthy!

Wow, that's so cool!

@@hope4surf we were very lucky in our troop to get to do so much cool stuff, the kalalau trail is wonderful

Wow! Good for you! The GoPro makes it look a lot harder than it actually is! Awesome you did it!!!

deborah daellenbach same here! I was praying throughout the hike. 🥴

I hiked in there in 1972, stayed for a week in one of the big caves, great hike.nobody wore clothes then...we looked good.

I hiked it in Oct. '78 when I was twenty eight. Don't remember it being that intimidating. Maybe it's the camera. Only saw about ten people in four days. Clothing optional then. Spectacular soul lifting hike.

Tom Quinn clothing optional? Good ole days.

Thanks so much! So AWESOME you got to enjoy it!!! Totally EPIC beyond words!

LOL! Thanks so much! It took me years to lessen my fear of heights...which I still have. To this day I can't ride theme park rides. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Congrats on completing a crazy tough hike!

You are very welcome! 😊🤙

Thanks so much!!! 🤙

Thanks so much!

This hike requires getting a permit, so it's not a heavily trafficked trail. Most of crawlers ledge is sort of wide enough to pass, but the section that isn't can be seen before you start (ie, you can see if someone is coming your way). The fisheye effect on the GoPro makes the sketchy section look way worse than it is. The view coming back is much more realistic. The first time we did this hike, we weren't even sure if it was crawlers ledge as it wasn't as scary as we thought it would be. Hope this helps!

"...between a rock and a hard place.." 🤣

Sweet!!! Congrats to you and your wife!

@m we aren't putting out lives on hold for more than 2 years.. just got home from a deployment, just got married, and done pushing things back! We are young and able my friend. Oh the beauty of America; home of the free and the brave

Wow! 😮 9 hours is pretty good too!

Totally AMAZING...imho, the most beautiful place on earth! 🤙

Glad my vid helps! GOOD LUCK and God bless! 🤙🙏

how’d it go??? i’m nervous

@@jennyroohr3332 it's not that bad. just take it slow and you'll be fine.

The only one that I know of is Hanakapi'ai Falls.

Apologize, but I don't really know Kauai trails. I know back when I did this hike I also wanted to go back to do Hanakapiai Falls. It begins from the first two miles of this trail then heads toward the mountain (about two more miles) to a waterfall. I believe it's about 8 miles round trip. I don't think you need a permit for this hike. Hope you find an epic hike! Be safe and have FUN!

Put it on your bucket list...totally worth it! Merry Christmas :)

Thanks! Have FUN and be careful!

Don't know if the trail has ever been rerouted in this area.

You're right. The "Heading Back to Ke'e Beach" at 1:55 gives a much more realistic view. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Enjoy and have a safe hike!

There is a native guy who stops by the beach every morning on a jet ski and offers rides out for $125 per person. Less than $10/mile!

Yo, what up Ange?

I agree. It would probably be way more peaceful at night (for me personally) I have a fear of falling. But you can’t fear what you can’t see…or can you? Haha I once jumped off the stratosphere in Vegas they have an assisted free fall. I did it at night and it was horrific but amazing. The daytime would probably be way scarier. I had been drinking that whole night. There’s literally a sign that tells people if they’re too scared to jump, to “hit the Ozone layer bar and grab some ‘liquid courage” “ So that’s what I did! I was so smashed I didn’t even use my local discount. I still mourn the $20 I would’ve saved. Anyway the second I walked out on the plank, it was like the moment of no return. I just jumped I didn’t give myself time to think. But the second I started falling, I truly felt scared from my life and the screams were sucked out of me. It was over so fast but I sobered up within that second. It’s crazy to think that’s the last thing you’ll think about if you ever god forbid committed suicide. All I thought about was “I’m gonna die” I didn’t really think about anything else not my family not regret just “oh shit”

You do NOT do this hike at night!

Strongly suggest you train with the weight you are planning to carry. The hike is 11 miles one way, but you're going in and out of many valleys, so there is tons of steep incline and decline. Have fun and be safe. Btw, 46 is young! :) ...many years younger than me.

Hi , how was the hiking , i hope to get a reply :) .

How was it?

Guess he died

So…. Did you do it?

You are hardcore

Angel's Landing looks like a cool hike...hopefully one day! This section is not as bad as it looks. The GoPro's "fisheye" effect makes it look a lot worse than it actually is. If you watch the second half of the video, you get a more realistic view of the trail. Thanks for watching! 🤙

🤣😂🤣😂

Yep, it wuz FUN!!! Thanks! :)

Swim? Haha!

Reincarnation

🤙🤙🤙

I would estimate that 95% or more of this hike is pretty safe. The hardest part of doing the hike is the constant elevation changes...basically going over multiple ridges in the mountainside. Make sure to prepare well prior and be fully rested about a week before doing it. Doing lots of training hikes with weight allows you to fully enjoy this hike and all it's beauty! Be safe and ENJOY!!!

hahaha sameee. i’m getting nervous!! we are hiking aug 19!

Thanks for watching!

Just got back from a week ago, it's scary as hell. No cam tricks, it really is scary

I did it when teen and many times since and imo youtube videos are way scarier than the actual ledge. Probably in part bc the areas just before space rock is just as deadly and desensitized me

This is not a heavily traveled trail, as permits are require to hike it. Also, you can see most of Crawler's Ledge before you get on it, so you can just wait if you see someone is already there...and it's not as narrow as the GoPro wide angle (fisheye) makes it look. Hope this helps.

@@hope4surf that one piece of ledge got so small though, one wrong move and your a goner 😱

Thanks!

LOL!

Wow, that's so cool!!!

Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🌟 🤙🤙🤙

L O L ! ! !

Thanks!

L O L ! ! ! Tried to do that hike, but didn't get the lottery pick. Such a beautiful place. Cloud's Rest and North Dome were awesome!

Gotta say I loved the combo 💯😂

🙏⛪🔥❤

LOL! #truestory :)

The most important thing is to get the footage, not to preserve life.

L O L ! ! !

It's not as bad as it looks. The fish-eye effect of the GoPro distorts things. Check out the second half of the vid ("Heading Back to Ke'e Beach") at 1:55 for a more realistic view.

U hard core....I'm jus a beginner.

Why am I not quite believing your comment?
