Denali 2008

First ascended by a party led by Hudson Stuck on June 7, 1913. Mt. Mckinley is the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet. It is characterized by extremely cold weather with temperatures dipping as low as minus 70 F and winds as high as 100 mph. There is also unusually severe risk of altitude illness due to not only its high elevation but also its high latitude. The climbing season runs from mid-April until mid-July.
