This account of the Wilcox expedition made me feel all the hardships and
mishaps that climbing a big mountain entails. It also documents other
climbing parties on Denali in 1967 and how they were involved in the
aftermath of the tragedy. The book also examines the response of
would-be rescuers and what could or could not have been done.
Ultimately, the super storm that hit Denali while the Wilcox expedition
was on the mountain was something that was highly unusual and could not
have been anticipated.
