Report

For this Sea to Summit to K1, we chose to start from Ala Moana Beach because I think it's the fastest way to the summit vs starting from Waikiki Beach or Kahala Beach. We decided to run through Manoa to get to the trailhead and hop on Manoa Falls trail and Aihualama vs taking Tantalus Road or Round Top Drive and hop on Makiki Valley Trail, Kalawahine, or Nahuina. I used only a liter of water and some gels for the ascent to Kōnāhuanui (K1).  It was a sunny day and the trails were mostly dry except between K2 and K1. It was cloudy initially at the top of the summit then it cleared up.
