Other Rachel figures she's about halfway up. Dave has reached the top and he calls down that he needs her up here. "Holy crap, It's getting really windy up here," she says. Brendon and Rachel start up their ropes and Rachel begins her whining. Other Rachel reaches the top of the rope and after she and Dave climb up into the roof, Dave quickly finds the banner at the park down below. "How the hell do you get there?" he wonders. That's actually not an idle question, because there's only one road to the island they have to get to and it leads way around to the far end. Brendon is leading Rachel up the ascender ropes while Dave is trying to memorize the roads they'll need to take to get to the park. Once he's satisfied, he tells Other Rachel he has it. She's more concerned about how they're going to get down. They head to the end of the roof and while looking down, Other Rachel says, "Oh, my god. I thought the adventure was over." This early in the leg?
Art and JJ find the statues on Waikiki Beach, but of course they're the wrong thing entirely, because they're called Makua and Kila. "We gotta figure something out, Art," JJ says. Yep, starting with a graceful concession speech for when they eventually find the giant mat. After the ads, the Border Patrol agents head to one of the gift shops off the beach, where a local directs them to the twin towers in Pearl City. At least they're on their way to the right place now.
Rachel is talking herself through her fear on the way up, which is going to be nothing compared to going down. Other Rachel and Dave are doing that now, letting themselves tip forward and allowing the ropes and harnesses take their weight as Dave says, "It's always a little concerning when you're stepping off the ledge of a 44-plus story building." Just say 45 stories, dude. In any case, they're walking spider-style down the end of the tower soon enough. Brendon and Rachel get to the top and soon Other Rachel and Dave are no longer walking, but just sort of dangling as they get gradually lowered down from above. Quite the challenge, there. Brendon and Rachel find the banner from above and Rachel says, "Right now it seems like we might have a 50% chance. I like those odds." They're a little optimistic though, because Other Rachel and Dave have already been winched all the way down to the ground. And also because Brendon and Rachel suck.
The Border Patrol finally reaches the twin towers, not ready to give up. Other Rachel and Dave get back to their driver, Tully, and immediately start talking over each other about where they're going. "Who's the navigator? Let me work it, okay?" Dave control-freaks. I sit back and look forward to when they inevitably get lost.
