Mount
McKinley
Meagan McGrath climbed Mount McKinley
June 2003. Mount McKinley is the tallest mountain in
North America, at an altitude of 20,320 ft (6194m).
Mount McKinley (or Denali, as it is
also known) is located in Alaska. It is a cold mountain
that has arctic conditions and readily prepares a climber
for future colder climbs. Meagan McGrath summitted McKinley
via the Upper West Rib.
One of the interesting features of
climbing Mount McKinley, while Meagan McGrath was there,
was the ski-jumping activity that took place at Advanced
Base Camp, an elevation of approx 14,000ft. You never
know what type of activity you’ll find in the
thinner air!
