Summary of In the Shadow of Denali: Life and Death on Alaska's Mt. McKinley
For fans of Into Thin Air, here is a gripping narrative that brings to life both the sublime and the struggle of a climbers life.Two hundred and sixteen miles south of the Arctic circle is Denali, otherwise known as Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, rising more than twenty thousand feet into the Alaskan sky. In this exhilarating account, Jonathan Waterman, a former guide on Denali, paints a startlingly intimate portrait of the white leviathan and the people who have lived and died on "The High One."
