From Sea to Sky, Maui
« Thread Started on Nov 13, 2011, 6:52pm »

This week we are attempting the true sea to sky starting at 0 on the south side of Maui near Kaupo and going right up it to the summit of Haleakala.

Monday is recon day. Looking at a XC route consisting of 10,023 vertical feet over 12 miles.

Maybe Wednesday.

I did that in 2001 - from the top down - way easier!

A terrific route - check out the Seven Sacred Pools at the bottom (continue past the end of the trail)

Did this in March up the Kaupo and Sliding Sands trail. My pace was pretty casual, but I will hit it pretty hard next time. Here's a vid I made:

Is Brian D's time the current FKT? I believe he did it in 5 hours, but not sure the exact time.

I was looking for a Sea to Summit Route Via Trails and saw Brian D's Video. This looks like the only route to go and wouldn't mind throwing in an FKT attempt while doing it!

Nice work Brian and sweet video!
