Surviving Denali

A study of accidents on Mount Mc Kinley 1903- 1990. The motivation for writing
this book is to dispel the myth of Denali as a cakewalk, and to help climbers
prepare adequately for polar, high-altitude survival. By learning from the
past, climbers can avoid similar problems; this is the goal of Surviving
Denali. Waterman presents an in-depth analysis of altitude medical problems,
frostbite, avalanche and fall injuries, and deaths on the mountain in order to
point out the mistakes that may have been made and methods that might have
been used to prevent them. In further chapters Waterman also covers how to
prepare properly for Denali.
