The Monkey Cave

Somewhere in Kaneohe, tucked away under a house, there’s a cave where two monkeys climb.

They are named Cliff and Kyle and this is the Monkey Cave.

The Monkey Cave is a home rock climbing gym that the two guys built under Cliff’s house. They built it because, at the time, there was no rock climbing gym on the island and they needed a place to climb at night or when it was raining. It took them a year to complete and they did everything themselves.

If you have ever seen Cliff or Kyle climb at Volcanic Rock Gym and wondered how they got so good, well this might have something to do with it. Of course, they are also both naturally freakishly strong.

Hawaii is known as one of the best places to go skydiving because of the epic views. From that high up you can see the entire island. And apparently, sometimes you get to jump through a rainbow.

I’ve jumped with Skydive Hawaii twice. I was stoked with the photos I got from my jump, but these pics of T.K. are on another level.

There’s a small museum tucked away up in Makiki Heights. You can come here to check out the art in the gallery, grab a cup of coffee or eat lunch. You can also simply walk around the premises and take pictures. That’s what we did.

It’s a nice place to start your day on a weekend.

A video project is in the works that’s been taking up some time and brain space over here. This is from a shoot we did at The Arch with my buddy Brad, of Berad Studio.
