Trail to Mokuleia climbing wall will remain closed for now

A hiking trail that leads to a climbing wall in Mokuleia will remain closed today and tomorrow, according to the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Conservation and Resources Enforcement Division.

“We will continue to evaluate the situation on a daily basis,” Acting Chief Randy Awo said.

The state closed the trail after a 12-year-old girl, identified as Mackenzie Mitchell, suffered critical head injuries when a rock fell on her Monday. She was part of a group from Camp Erdman that had hiked to the climbing wall.

Counselors were conducting a safety briefing for the group when the rock fell. Mitchell was flown to Queen’s Medical Center in critical condition.
