Higher on the spine great views of the coast line and Koko Head were presented. This is one of the reasons we hike! The ridge is pretty steep and it took us (me) 40 minutes to do the first mile (ATCF) ( as the crow flies) as measured by my GPS.
Still a long way to go. As I took a 10 minute break at 9:25 to eat a Power Bar and take a slight rest everyone passed me. Now I'm the caboose!
