Great Book November 12, 2003

This an excellent guide if you've decided on the West Buttress route.
Also check out the Dixie 3000: a hiking guide to the peaks in South Carolina over 3000'. Lots of fun hikes in there. Contact Docbeaker@aol.com for more info.

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.
Denali's West Buttress: A Climber's Guide to Mount McKinley' February 14, 2000

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.
Enormously comprehensive; thoroughly practical. December 27, 1998

A thoughtful compendium of useful knowledge: for the neophyte, as well as the experienced. Practical advice on "leave only your footsteps"; interesting historical background; lucid prose makes it an easy read
