How To Climb Denali

So I did Denali solo about 10 years ago. I did not have a "huge pack" - you place most of the load on a sled. Also this is physical mountain for people used to Sherpa doing everything for them. For me it was touch harder than easy 7000er.
Lobuche East is NOT a preparation for Denali - done it as well - last year. It is not. None of they Himalaya trekking peaks do much more than prepare you for altitude. Come on! I did Lobuche east in two days, with my 2nd day utilizing sandwiches made in a restaurant at Lobuche. All 6000 trekking peaks are two day adventures. Denali took me a month. Compare 2 days to a month.

I climbed it via the Muldrow route back in 1983 with COBS. It took 28 days from the drop off near Wonder Lake to the summit and 4 days back.

i love the alpines.

I think another problem with mt denali is that it’s location really creates very very sudden storms and severe winds due to no barrier between it and the pacific.

Fun fact. Hawkeye point in Iowa has a sign saying that Denali(Mount McKinley) is 2,551 miles away.

So if I understand this correctly I am never climbing this mountain.

my husband is looking at doing climbing Denali. I want to help him prepare.

You climb McKinley, not denali.

This helped me train for something I'll never do

Mount Zion is the most interesting and audatious climb.

Wow this video is awesome 😊

Everest is easy and Denali is impossible!! America is #1! We poop up and down the mountain and sled down quickly on 50kg sleds 🛷

I CLIMBED DENALI IN MY WHEELCHAIR

How to climb Mt. Mckinley:
Step 1. Go up.
Step 2. Go down.

what will be the cost of climbing this peak...

I would actually love to climb Denali. I'm not much of an alpinist, but it would be cool to do some climbing up there while I finish a book I'm working on, set in Kluane National Park.

Eh? Everest isn’t difficult to climb. It’s easy to walk.
He then says…”There are no yaks or porters to help”. Then says…”Catch the plane to base camp”!!!!!!!!
I’m not a mountaineer but I do know words!

This was Awesome!! Thank you!

Is it possible to climb denali in alpine style (solo) ??

Thank you for the video. With my zero climbing experience this “how to” video prepared me to climb Denali successfully albeit I’m down about 4 toes, 3 fingers and a nose.

My bucket list thanks for sharing 👍

Hello

Mount everest is the highest mountain but Mount Denali is the tallest mountain...plus Denali has crazier weather do it where it's near the ocean

I shattered my whole body 33 months ago. Shattered hip shattered pelvis broke 10 ribs bruised lungs bruised femer, I am 55 kicking ass I've always dreamed of climbing big mountains closest I've gotten is mountain warfare school in the marines and few peaks in Colorado, I know it sounds crazy but I feel I could do that in another year or so been my rehab goal since the fall, to be in good enough shape to climb a mountain. Getting close you climbers motivate me big time. Gotta be great feeling prolly never get a chance but love the videos

Lit , definitely bucket list material

What were the names of the climbs one should do in order to prepare for Denali?

Wow this is a huge inspiration

Awesome video Mike! Love your work and I am big fan of yours! Keep it up!
