Alaska

Mount McKinley's 20,320' West Buttress with Fantasy Ridge


 

The Alaska Range is probably the worlds most spectacular range and it holds much in common with the Himalayas. At 20,320' it is North America's highest summit, and without a doubt McKinley changes you. To take on a project the size of Denali (Indian name meaning "The Great One"), and work for three weeks climbing one mountain changes how one faces the daily climb in life.

McKinley's West Buttress is a beautiful three-mile long ridge. It rises from an 11,000' base and the 9,000' vertical rise offers a full range of climbing-snow and ice challenges with impressive views. Certainly one of the most exciting and spectacular spots on Earth!

McKinley with Fantasy Ridge is an experience that begins as soon as you commit to going, and lasts for a lifetime. Join us for this ultimate mountaineering experience.
