Mount McKinley – Ice crown of North America

This book’s introductory chapters offer a prehistory and history of all Alaska
up to its purchase. Succeeding chapters report six explorations of Mt.
McKinley before 1914, emphasizing the ascents of Dr. F.O. Cook, the
Sourdoughs, Belmore Brown, and Hudson Stuck. Eight selected climbs, made
between 1951 and the mid-1980s, are also related in detail. Major climbing
routes are described, with closing chapters covering accidents on the
mountain, logistics, and other information valuable to potential climbers.
