but a a Denali trip is something I would perhaps like to do one day. Depending on the time of year it can be just as hard as any of the other big mountains.
I've always been impressed with Mt. St. Elias on the Southern Coast. It's vertical rise is second only to Denali in the world (as far as land based mts. are concerned.)
Pretty impressive to be at sea level and see this 18k mountain. The Malaspina Glacier is in the foreground. It's also a premiere surfing location (believe it or not)

Heck, even Rainier at 14,410 kills folks every year.
Yes it does. The prominence of the mountain makes it a tough climb. As well as the extensive glaciers and associated crevasses. This is also a climb I want to do. I would hire a guide for this though since my glacier experience is somewhat low.

This is why I love going to Lake Tahoe. Climbing routes one day and relaxing on the beach the next. Best of both worlds.
