Denali/Mt McKinley
Summit of North America
At 6194 m (20,320 ft) Denali (Mount McKinley) is the highest mountain in North America. Its arctic latitude makes for extreme weather conditions and its remote location in the Alaskan wilderness means that climbing teams must be self-reliant and experienced. The author focuses on the West Buttress route used by 80-90% of climbers.
Harry Kikstra's guidebook provides all you need to plan and enjoy your attempt to climb Denali (McKinley):
- concise advice about preparation and planning
- how to prevent and manage altitude sickness
- practical tips on load-carrying, glacier travel and camping
- fold-out map showing the West Buttress route
- 96 pages with open-flat binding
- in full colour, with over 60 photographs
- on waterproof paper.
