The 'Kichatna Mountains' are a small but extremely rugged subrange of the western
Alaska Range, approximately 65 miles (108 km) southwest of
Mount McKinley. Unlike the major snow peaks of much of the rest of the Alaska Range, the Kichatnas boast short, steep rock towers, which are famous both for their high-quality, highly technical
climbing, and their terrible weather.
The main peaks of the Kichatnas include:
★
Kichatna Spire, 8985 feet
★ Mount Augustin
★ Gurney Peak
★
Middle Triple Peak
