Flattop Mountain

This morning the HOM group set out to climb Flattop Mountain, just outside of Anchorage. Flattop is a little over 3500 feet high and is aptly named.
Start of the trail to Flattop
 About halfway up the mountain there was a place to sit and catch your breath. After the break we actually started mountain climbing! At points it was hand over hand climbing.

 As we reached the top of the mountain Breanne, my hiking buddy, and I were overjoyed. The wind was ridiculous up there! It made is even more freezing than it actually was. (My dad let me borrow his fancy camera with panoramic capabilities so here's an awesome view.)
