Hawaii

and they are an extreme nuisance.

From those pictures, it looks somewhat plausible to hike up there if you're really fit, but let me tell you those mountains vanish in the clouds in a blink. The powerful rains that carved those ridges not to mention the wind that was brought up in the article are some of the risks. Those sheer cliffs look like that, because the soil is crumbly and soft and rained on all the time, and it is not stable to walk on. My Dad used to say never climb those cliffs. Many have tried, many have died, and that is a fact. We don't like them because it seems like they just are breaking the law carelessly and exporting the cost and risk of saving them to us.

I'm no fan of Blangiardi, but I'm glad he's doing this, and I'm glad the city council voted the way they did. We keep having to put our first responders at risk to go scrape their dumbasses off the side of the Ko'olaus. Just last night there was a guy up there with his kids if you can believe that, all he had was headlamps. Then some other jackass on the land below started flashing lasers up at him on the mountain, which was awful too. how do I know? The hiker posted the pics on Facebook yesterday.
