I live in the Rockies and can't tell you how many times I've relived a smiliar scenario in my head about death and dismemberment while mountaineering. I was planning on doing this hike in a couple of weeks, but now may have to re-think it. Thanks for the bellyful, Robert. :) I read this at work and laughed so loud at the “shark” comment that everyone in my office came over.

This was definitely a late fall/early winter trip. Yes, summer months are dryer. This was definitely a late fall/early winter trip.

We are planning to do it this July and am hoping it may be not as wet. I am curious what month you hiked the Napali in. We are planning to do it this July and am hoping it may be not as wet.

One thing to think about would be your stove choice. I was not allowed to bring my stove back because of airline restrictions. You might want to think about a super light weight one that has a detachable propane tank but double check that they sell them at an outdoor store in Kauai. Also, you will definitely want a waterproof pack cover. It is more comfortable for you to get wet and just focus on keeping your pack dry. Thanks for your comment.

Putting together a pack list, any thing you would list as a must have? Thanks. Nice blog, we are hiking the trail in Dec/Jan. Putting together a pack list, any thing you would list as a must have?

We just got back from Kauai. We loved the Napali coast as we hiked there and also viewed it from Captain Andy's Catamaran. One warning I would give visitors....stay away from the horse ride at Princeville. A very boring walk (they don't let you trot or gallop) followed up by a swim in a dirty mountain pond.

I can be a little dramatic at times. The harder the rain the greater the drama. Folks, it is not that bad. I can be a little dramatic at times. The harder the rain the greater the drama.

I was already having second thoughts as my husband isn't great with heights, and I'd heard it was a bit hairy at times, and your blog just confirmed it. I think that I'll seek out a slightly less hair-raising hike. Thanks for the alert to this - really helpful. Hmmm – not so sure about doing this hike now!

I was considering making a backpacking trip to the Napali Coast, but now I think I will reconsider and hit some other good spots first. Thanks for the fantastic blog.
