Samson Mahuiki, 71, who lives below the peak, remembers his father and uncle being the last men to throw the firebrands off Makana when he was a boy. The razor-thin ridge was so narrow, he says, the men had to straddle it to get across, carrying bundles of hollow sticks nearly ten feet long. When asked if any young Hawaiians have taken up the challenge, Mahuiki laughs and shakes his head. "No, that breed is long gone."]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 79.5 306 -6 -9 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/02-21429_02.jpg <![CDATA[Hanakapi'ai Valley]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 false 131.5 279 19 -8 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/07-21321_05.jpg <![CDATA[Waiahuakua]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 182.5 300 -8 -13 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/01-21309_02.jpg <![CDATA[Kalalau Lookout]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 325.5 190 2 -9 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/11-21292_05.jpg <![CDATA[Cliff walls of the Kalalau Valley]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 320.5 237 -6 -16 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/03-21369_06b.jpg <![CDATA[Kalalau Beach]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 309.5 277 -9 -6 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/12-21482_06e.jpg <![CDATA[Honopū Valley]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 411.5 270 2 -9 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/13-21442_09f.jpg <![CDATA[Nu'alolo Kai]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 true 468.5 268 1 -11 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/09-21503rs2-sm.jpg <![CDATA[Polihale Beach]]> 10 10 1 0 13369344 10 Verdana 0 8 0 1 0 false 686.5 154 4 -8 13369344 16750899 /2008/04/napali-coast/img/04-21359_04b.jpg <![CDATA[Honopū Beach]]> King Kong, in which the arch served as the gateway to Kong's kingdom.
