Mt McKinney

I dreamt I did, mostly because this mountain does not exist.

Who has summited Mt McKinney and tell me about your experience. I am in the process of planning an ascent this spring.

I hope you climb better than you do anything else.

and the topography is mostly made up of what the locals refer to as, "bolt-ons"

I drove to the top of Mt. Evans. Does that count?

I meant mt mckinley in alaska, typo

You need 3 weeks to do it.

I hope you've trained your arse off. You also need to train with a sled and how to escape it.

I know someone who can run 50 miles straight that failed to summit.

I have more but doubt this is serious.

I lived on the north face of the Chugach mtns for 3 years...rising above the northern horizon was Mt. McKinley (Denali) and all his little brothers...my back porch faced NW, so I could look to the North and see it every day...

So I read a book on it...it is apparently a killer and a bitch to climb...even deadlier to come down...so many Japanese climbers have been killed on a face it is called the Orient Express...you can freeze or asphyxiate depending on the weather, and you have to go while it's still cold or a crevasse will just eat you...
