Kichatna Mountains Details
Known for their short, steep spires (like the Cathedral Spires), the Kichatna Mountains are a minor mountain range located in the southwest corner of Denali known for their technical mountain climbing. Kichatna Spire is the high point in the range, at "just" 8,985 feet. These lightly visited mountains are home to some small glaciers, such as Tatina and Cul-De-Sac, which have undergone dramatic shrinking in recent years, likely due to climate change.
