& 50 b/w photos & 20 drawings & 6 x 9 . Detailed descriptions of every major climbing route& Expert tips on planning a Denali expedition & Route and area maps by Dee Molenaar and Mike Clelland "I believe this book is an outstanding project--education is the best source for all of us to make better decisions regarding judgement in mountaineering." --Daryl R. Miller, Mountaineering ranger, Denali National Park R. J. Secor, a veteran mountaineer with more than 25 years' experience, climbed Denali in 1995 and describes in detail 40 routes and 24 variations to its summit, including approaches from the north, south, west, southwest, and southeast. Detailed route maps and precise descriptions as well as special features on outfitting and preparing a Denali trip make this guide book an invaluable resource for the expedition climber or the reader fascinated by this natural wonder. R. J. Secor has climbed not only Denali, but also more than 250 peaks in the High Sierra range as well as Mexico's volcanoes, Aconcagua, the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges. He lives in Pasadena, California. "An expedition to Denali is not a matter of right or wrong; instead, it is a series of decisions, and each decision has many consequences. No one is immune from disaster, but with a realistic assessment of the hazards and an honest appraisal of the skills, strengths, and weaknesses of the party, climbers can significantly reduce the risks by making the correct choices."--from Denali Climbing Guide
