Description
This is my grandson "Kailen" and his first time on Mauna Kea. Here he is on the 9,000 ft elevation level with the clouds moving in on us. Eventually, the clouds cover us and couldn't see. So, we went above the clouds to the 13,796 ft level. Aloha and thank you for viewing

he is a good looking young man and obviously has the talents of his grandfather. must be hard to breathe up there
Pleased to meet your grandson, Errol! Very nice shot! bravo!!!
Got to admit, he looks just like grandpa Errol. Glad he is sharing your passion for hiking. Now to get him a good camera. He will be all set. Aloha and have a safe holiday.
Guess it has been a fantastic experience for him to get there with his grandpa! He looks great... tell him I said HI and give him my compliments for his energy and strength, will ya? Aloha
Great for your grandson... show him all the trails !
Oh Errol, I can almost tell your motives here, you want him to help carry the gear right???? just kidding... ;) It is really nice to see you have a grandson willing to climb to these heights with you!!!!! thanks for sharing... ;)
Oh wow, my first time was reaching only to 2000 feet! LOL! Fantastic capture, there's still a long way ahead! :)
Oh my.. at 4000 feet we are in snow here sharky.. A good lookin' man you have there... s
fantastic portrait of your grandson ... must be great for him !
13,796 ft?!! I thought we were up there, geeeez! Not to much air up there! Great shot of your grandson, looks like he was having fun?! I think, hard to tell. 8-)
Better man than me...I would be standing there with my tongue hanging out gasping for every breath!
Did you need him to carry you back down, he would have to carry me!!!! great image of your grandson:):)..V
Plucky boy! Even at 10,000 I start to gasp and have to rest every few steps. I guess, youth has a lot of advantages. Your grandson seems to be enjoying the hike.
Lucky, your grandson! It should lovely to be there and all the way!
I am lucky if i see 3000 feet here in the lowlands :-) Hope he enjoyed his walk in the clouds!

WOW that seems like a big hike. Nice you do those kinds of things with your grandkids.
How did he like his first hike on the mountain? A spiritual experience I am sure and with you as his guide, he was in the best of hands. :)
Kort: My grandson loved it up there. He even wanted to pitch a tent and stay up there, lol.

How did you ever breath up there!!!??? Very interesting. He looks like a pro.
