To The Top of Denali

Bill Sherwonit brings to life the adventure, heroism, triumph, and tragedy of climbing North America's highest peak, Denali. He offers great insight and tales of daring adventure for both experienced climbers and armchair explorers who wonder why people climb mountains. The book contains stores about some of the best known personalities associated with the mountain —- from Bradford Washburn to Vern Tejas.

Review: Bill Sherwonit captures the spirit of Denali with this great collection of historical climbs. The book is very well written. My goal for reading this book was to learn more about the mountain for a possible future climb. I learned more than I had expected about Denali. Bill covered most of the historical climbs, but failed to mention speed records on McKinley. I was left wondering what the speed record for climbing McKinley was or is.
