Mount Hunter Details

Also known as Begguya, or the child of Denali, Mt. Hunter is the third highest peak of the Alaska Range at 14,573 feet. It has two summits and is actually considered a more difficult climb than the much taller Mt. McKinley (Denali) owing to its extreme steepness and dicey ridges and crevasses.
