Climbed Haleakala in Maui
Just got back from climbing Haleakala. It was a tough climb, but not terrible. The grade was never too steep. Nice 5-7% grades the whole way for the most part. The descent was cold but super fast and fun. The climb from Hana Hwy/Baldwin to the summit took 4hr2min.

Thanks for sharing- looks like a great time. I'll be honeymooning in Maui this summer and was just starting to look at places to ride.

Has coddling tendencies.
Ben doesn't fool around once the road turns up. Now I can say I know someone who has done that climb.
Did you stop to rest along the way at all? Food, picturetime break?

Congrats on making it to the summit! I did this ride last year in Jan, made it to the visitor's center. I blame the humidity, the weather, and not bringing enough (or all, rather) of my bike, and the rental bike, among other excuses. Someday I'll go back and finish it.

Next time, if there is a next time, try jogging into the crater. Its really quite an experience, like being on a desolate planet. Its so quiet in there. Yet, you can shout and actually hear several echoes. Some people camp out there.

Interesting that HR seems to be dropping during the climb. I would have thought the opposite given the thinner air and, from the seemingly constant speed and grade, a constant power output
