Stairway to Heaven

This past weekend I hiked Stairway to Heaven with some of my friends. It was one of the coolest/scariest things ever. I loved every minute of it. You have to get there really early in the morning before the security guard to go up it. We got lost and didn't find it till about 6:30am and the guard was already there so we thought we weren't going to get to go, but then he told us to hurry up and go five at a time and if anyone gets hurt to say that we got there before him. So me, Chase, Greg and two randoms got going right away. Immediately it gets really steep and stays that way most of the time. It is about 3,000 feet up to the top, and it was tiring. Some parts are so steep you are using the stairs as a ladder. If you fall, you're dead, but it really isn't that big of a deal, its pretty easy not to fall and always feel pretty safe. There are four platforms a long the way. When you get to the first one you are about halfway, and it feels like there is no way you could go any higher, but there is a lot to go. At the top are two satellite dishes on a building that are all abandoned. It was really cloudy and rainy for us the whole time. We are going to do it again sometime and try to get it when it is sunny. I want to do it every 2 weeks just for the workout. It really is one of the coolest things to do on this island.
