Denali's West Buttress: A Climber's Guide to Mount McKinley',
By A Customer
This review is from: Denali's West Buttress: A Climber's Guide to Mount McKinley's Classic Route (Paperback)
Required preparatory text for anyone planning the climb. Gives a clear understanding of the route and what is involved in attempting it. Written in concise, clear language by Denali authorities with emphasis on safety and sanitation. Of special interest is a chapter on women's concerns. Also, good reading for non-climbers wanting an inside view to what climbers experience enroute to the summit.

This review is from: Denali's West Buttress: A Climber's Guide to Mount McKinley's Classic Route (Paperback)
This book was easy to read and provides a great historical overview of the mountain, what equipment you need and a detailed step by step guide to the West Buttress route with Maps from Brad Washburn. Although I would say this book is merely a warm up in the research you need to do and understand to climb Denali. A very practical guide.
