In all honesty it would have been the first inhabitancy of the Hawaiian Islands that of the Polynesian people a mix race of Taiwanese and Melanesian (or more roughly Papa New Guineans) who island hoped and ended up in Hawaii in 300 AD these peoples would have explored the islands including Mauna Kea. But if you are looking for the first European to have climbed the mountain then David Douglas, a Scottish botanist, would be one of the first who on January 1834 climbed Mauna Kea returning 5 days later.
