Fun fact: Molokai's north cliffs are so tall because... they once were connected to an entire other half of the island that just sheared off from a massive earthquake and the resulting landslide. If you take a look at Google maps in the satellite imagery mode just north of the island, you can see the debris of the parts of land that slipped away into the depths.

I believe that’s bell rock? I climbed quite a ways up it when I was sixteen. I climbed until my dad screamed at me to get my ass back down to them. 😂 I love climbing but man it made him nervous on our vacays

Been to Molokai, but didn't get to see the cliffs. Was disappointing.

For some reason when you fly from Maui to Molokai on the little plane they don't fly past the cliffs.

BTW Molokai is a great place to visit if you want a couple days of doing nothing but relaxing. No chain restaurants or stores all local places. Was a nice 2 days.
