Revocable Permit Details

As part of a DLNR pilot program to evaluate the effectiveness of warning signs and safety education with regards to rock climbing safety, a Revocable Permit (RP) has been issued to HCC and its members. Fortunately, joining HCC is a simple (and free!) process. In order to do so, a rock climbing fact sheet and a waiver must be signed and submitted electronically. These waivers will be remotely accessible by DLNR for the purposes of evaluating compliance. By becoming a member of HCC you will help to ensure long-term access to Hawai’i’s climbing areas and contribute to a strong, mutually respectful relationship between Hawai’i’s climbers and the State DLNR. The Mokulēia Wall was closed by the State for more than two-and-a-half years, and only through painstaking volunteer efforts has access been returned to the public. Please read and understand the Seven Surefire Ways to Lose Climbing Access post from the Access Fund.
