Pu'u Kōnāhuanui consists of two mountain peaks, Kōnāhuanui 1 (commonly abbreviated K1) and Kōnāhuanui 2 (K2),[3][better source needed] located in Honolulu County, Hawaii. It is the highest point in the Koʻolau Mountains and second highest point on the island of Oahu.[4]

The Hawaiian word "Kōnāhuanui" roughly translates to "large testicles" in English. This alludes to a legend that states the mountain originated from the testicles of a giant, who threw them at a woman trying to escape from him.[4][5]
