(EXTREME HIKING) KOKO CRATER, my arch Enemy! Why you ask? Because this Hike is no Hike, it’s a WORKOUT up the “STRAIRWAY to HELL”. Considering I have had MCL, LCL and ACL injuries this is MURDER on my knees and coming down is even worse so I go down sideways. Now as far as I know my friends and I are the only ones that call it Stairway to Hell. There is also Haiku Stairs which is also famously known as “Stairway to Heaven” a name that it has had for a very long time and a trail that we will be doing on Waydes World Hawaii hopefully before the year is up. Stairway to Heaven is much longer and it gets it’s name because you climb above the clouds where the area is much more wet, green and lush unlike Koko which is HOT and DRY! If you can’t climb Koko, you can’t climb Heaven. Simple as that, period! If no one knows, Koko Crater is a Volcanic Cinder Cone and is the remnants of the last active Volcano on Oahu that took place 10000 years ago. This Cone stands over 1200feet STRAIGHT UP and I’m talking STRAIGHT UP! Just imagine climbing a ladder straight up the side of a 1000 foot story building! This is no fun my friends! If you are not in good shape, if you are not mentally and physical prepared for Koko you will regret it, I promise you! This trail is not actually a staircase but it is in fact a set of railway tie steps. An old railroad you could say, that has seen better days. These rail ties get tricky when you come to the Bridge. If you made it that far CONGRADULATION, life …
