Denali / Mt McKinley - summit of North America pocket Rucksack Readers | 9781898481539

At 6190 m (20,310 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. In 2016 we reprinted this book with many revisions and updates. It still forms part of our popular 4-for-3 option: see below for this bargain bundle.
