So this turned out to be way crazier than Sanny or I expected even after reading descriptions of it beforehand. But it was way cooler as a result. We only went to the top of the first peak (which was the highest) but we have a strong desire to return and knock off the last two -- which are more technically challenging than the first -- on a subsequent effort.
The first 3/4 of a mile or so on the trail was your typical "single track through tropical paradise." But then you connect with the ridge of the first peak and it kicks sharply upwards while becoming disconcertingly narrow (for us anyway, who have no background with such). I'd guess the last half mile is spent on a trail no more than 2 or 3 feet wide with a thousand foot drop on either side (at least it's covered with vegetation -- I'd guess if you fell you could probably grab hold of a tree). From that point on you were basically scrambling and climbing -- making liberal use of foot and hand holds provided by roots and rocks (or the ropes secured by previous hikers). And just before the top was a 20 foot vertical wall.
The views were amazing! And we met a very cool local (the man with the purple hair) at the top who reminded us a bit of Cabalo Blanco (sp) of "Born to Run" fame.
