Area Overview
Makapu'u Point is a small crag located near Makapu'u lighthouse. It hosts about a dozen climbs, mostly sport, that are about 35' tall. All of the routes can be top roped as you can easily walk to the top to build an anchor, and nearly all of the routes have bolted anchors. The crag is bolted with titanium glue-in bolts. This crag is a popular choice for beginners as it hosts some of the easiest climbs on the island and the approach is rather easy. The area can be quite windy, so bring a jacket. The crag is somewhat public in that many hikers pass by the area. As a result, climbers are always under observation so please help preserve access by ensuring you pack out your trash and pick up any other trash you see laying around. All it takes is one person to mess up and it could affect everyone.
The approach is a short, 10-to-15 minute 3rd-class scramble up the edge of the sea cliff. The crag is actually located in a small saddle at the top off the first hill. Optionally, there is a small approach trail located about 300' inland of the sea cliff, but it's harder to find and it takes longer to reach the crag.
