    Tips

    November 21, 2024

    Just over Rua Pane there are some steep rocky sections. When we went up it was pouring rain down and the rock was very wet. I still found it easier climbing up without the chain but it was very helpful on the way back down. Sort of like a belay to abseil down but just ensure you are confident enough to use it. I’ve used quite a few of the ropes to drop down routes in Hawaii but the chains did seem quite slippy in the wet.

    Just be sure you’re always confident! Do what is easier for you.
