Description

This is a gripping narrative about life & death on Alaska's Mt. McKinley. This first-person narrative explores the psychology of climbers who attempt to scale the nation's highest mountain. Two hundred and sixteen miles south of the Arctic circle is Denali, otherwise known as Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, rising more than twenty thousand feet into the Alaskan sky. In this exhilarating account, Jonathan Waterman paints a startlingly intimate portrait of the white leviathan and the people who have lived and died on "The High One."

For fans of Into Thin Air, a gripping narrative. - from Amzon
