Climbing Denali | Uphill Athlete

Climbing Denali

With over 40 Denali summits between them, Uphill Athlete coaches Steve House and Mark Postle know what it takes to climb Denali. In this discussion the pair will focus on climbing Denali via the West Buttress (standard) route, what it is like, sprinkled with plenty of tips on how to do it. We’ll touch on the physical training for Denali, but will address that topic in-depth in a future talk. This illustrated Zoom Talk features 120 images of climbing the West Buttress. We discuss strategy, camps, food, cooking, summit strategies, and more.
