Climbing Diamond Head

[w.bob]

The last time I was on Oahu we climbed Diamond Head. At that time you needed a flashlight because there were a couple of dark stretches. I believe I read that lights were installed and you no longer need the flashlights. Can anyone confirm it? Thank you

We did the hike 2 years ago and there were lights installed. Two years before there weren't.

I was there a month ago. No flashlights necessary. Bring an extra bottle of water instead.

True, no flashlights needed. I second the take an extra bottle of water instead.
I would also suggest going in early AM when it is much cooler and also less crowded at top. Views are great.
