Be on the lookout, however, for loose rocks. These are plentiful and a hazard to you and others you may be hiking with. The ridge narrows in places but never is a rope or cable required. The dropoff to the steep ravine on the left is pronounced and Ohikilolo Ridge continues to tower above, also to the left. The dropoff on the right is also steep but less daunting because of the presence of more vegetation, mainly Christmas berry.
Some native flora grows on the ridge, including lama and ilima.
After a particularly narrow segment, climb fairly steeply to gain the crest of distinct nob in the ridge. Descend gradually to reach a flat, eroded spot. Ahead, the spur broadens but continuing straight up is impossible because of a massive vertical rockface. This is about the 2,000 foot level. Bypassing the rockface is possible by contouring along the slope to the right.
