O’malley Peak - The ridge attempt

Anchorage Hikes, Chugach Hikes 8 Comments »

O’malley Peak is 5100 feet above Anchorage, and we take you up the ridge access to the mountain. This hike in the Chugach Mountain range presented its own challenges, and you’ll be with us every step of the way. Amazing views from the top, great footage, and a little mountain madness tops off this show!
