“This is not a hike. This is a climb. Head down, over roots, scrambling on rocks, pulling on vines climb. Hands on rocks or on sides of gullies so you don't fall climb. This is not for kids, this is not for the elderly, this is not for anyone that isn't in good shape. At the top of the volcano, you can fall off the ledge, there is not railing or ropes, and fall to your death. I am not exaggerating. It is 2.5hours of climbing up and 1.5 hours back down. I work out and swim every day. I am in good shape. This was not easy or even…”
