So in the end it’s not an issue of how skilled any of my partners are on the rock, it’s an issue of safety, reliability, and motivation. .


Basically, it sounds like people in Hawaii are laid-back, true to stereotype. ;-)

Good post.

Well Hawaiians are. However in two years I have only seen one Hawaiian climber here. Just about everyone else moved here from the continental US.

those "dedicated to the sport" move to boulder. dedicated surfers move to hawaii. you're trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.

this may be one of your problems:

In the military one cannot say, “I want to move to 36.349421,-115.169678”. You submit four general requests and the Navy will try to match you up to something similar to one of them. For me I was given the choice to move to Hawaii. It was basically move to Hawaii or go to some boring base in Florida.
