The Deadliest Climbing Disaster on America’s Wildest Peak <\/p>\n
In 1967, twelve young men attempted to climb Alaska’s Mount McKinley – known
\nto locals as Denali, ‚The High One‘ – one of the most popular and deadly
\nmountaineering destinations in the world. Only five survived.<\/p>\n
Journalist Andy Hall grew up in the mountain’s shadow, the son of the ranger
\non duty at the time of the tragedy, and has spent years tracking down
\nsurvivors, lost documents and recordings of radio communications to piece
\ntogether the chain of events. In Denali’s Howl, Hall reveals the full story of
\nan expedition facing conditions conclusively established here for the first
\ntime: At an elevation of nearly 20,000 feet, these young men endured an arctic
\nsuper blizzard, with howling winds of up to 300 miles an hour and wind chill
\nthat freezes flesh solid in minutes. All this without the high-tech gear and
\nequipment climbers use today.<\/p>\n
As well as the story of the men caught inside the storm, Denali’s Howl is the
\nstory of those caught outside it trying to save them – Hall’s father among
\nthem. The book gives readers a detailed look at the culture of climbing then
\nand now and raises uncomfortable questions about each player in this tragedy.
\nWas enough done to rescue the climbers, or were their fates sealed when they
\nascended into the path of this unprecedented storm?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
