The peaks in the Arizona Summer Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge have been curated by Six-Pack of Peaks finisher and former ambassador Richard Oppelaar.
For the last six years, Richard has worked as part of the safety team for the Heroes Project's Climb for Heroes fundraising event on Mount Baldy. The Heroes Project works with wounded veterans, helping them rehabilitate and climb mountains all around the world.
While not hiking the peaks of the Arizona, Las Vegas, or SoCal Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge, Richard is in the process of summiting all 50 state high points.
