So there i was it was 4 in the morning and doing training at pohakuloa a group and i decided to go up the side of Mauna kea to see if we could make it to the summit by noon. Amongst the fire breaks and following the trail of the hipa that watched us crazies walk up the side of this sacred place i took every step and thought of my family and at the timberline i could feel the chill of my bones and the warmth of the sun at the same time as i looked over to Mauna Loa i wondered if warriors before me made this path. kissed by the coulds and choked out by the altitude i made to the top. and back down i went.
