Ascent of Denali The 1913 Expedition That First Conquered Mt. McKinley

The Ascent Of Denali is a narrative of the 1913 expedition of the first ascent of Mount KcKinley (aka Denali). Hudson Stuck and his three companions overcame great challenges from extreme cold to explosive storms during their climb. The Katmai explosion and earthquake in 1912 had left their route up the Northeast ridge a jumble of house-sized blocks of ice. Finally on June 7, 1913, the young Athabascan Walter Harper was the first person to set foot on the rooftop of North America. Stuck tells a compelling story complete with observations of the natural world through careful prose. Maps and high-quality photographs make The Ascent of Denali an irresistible adventure.Stuck, Hudson is the author of 'Ascent of Denali The 1913 Expedition That First Conquered Mt.
