SCROLL DOWN
The next photo will reverse direction
Haiku Valley and the Stairway to Heaven (Haiku Ladder) are located West of the city of Kaneohe on the windward side of Oahu, Hawaii.
Haiku road leads from Kamehameha Highway west into Haiku Valley. (Highlighted)
The red arrow points to the original transmitter building, built in 1943.
The white dots mark the location of the steel ladder staked to the south rock wall. The ladder follows the 1943 route taken by Bill Adams and Louis Otto who first scaled this cliff. The small arrow at the bottom points to the trail head leading to the stairs.
Their position varies slightly from the originals. The building on the left, near the anchor is the upper hoist house. At the top right is the CCL house.
The definition is amazing considering that these are satellite photos.
This photo deserves more space than allowed in previous frame.
The top of the photo is Southeast.
The measurement device is a GOOGLE EARTH feature.
The tiny dot to the right of the center of the yellow line is the transmitter building.
Now moving toward the Haiku ladder on the face of the South cliff.
The next photo will show a closer view of the visible portion of the ladder.

Here - at the center of the photo - is a seldom seen view of the ladder leading up out of the back of Hanging valley. For a clear view of the full length of the ladder up to the Upper hoist house check out the gallery "Stairway to Heaven"Photo is a crop of the previous photo by Prof. John Flanigan.
