Ascent of Denali A Narrative of the First Complete Ascent of the Highest Peak in North America

Hudson Stuck was the Episcopalian archdeacon of the Yukon. With three companions he made the first ascent of Mt. McKinley--the 20,320-foot-tall south summit of Denali. They started in March, arrived at the approaches in April, and by May they were at their base camp, where a late storm kept them in their tents for three weeks reading Shakespeare, history, theology, philosophy, and science. They reached the summit near midday on June 7, 1913. Stuck could see and appreciate the beauty of the mountain, which comes through in this intimate account.Stuck, Hudson is the author of 'Ascent of Denali A Narrative of the First Complete Ascent of the Highest Peak in North America' with ISBN 9781589762411 and ISBN 158976241X.
