Denali is truly rugged and known to have some of the worst weather in the world, at a latitude of 63 degrees North, Denali is just 200miles South of the Arctic Circle.

Every year it attracts climbers from all over the world including the world’s best alpinists to test themselves on the peak that many consider being the most challenging of the Seven Summits. Not only for the extreme conditions but also the workload required.

Climbers need to be able to carry all their own gear, make their own camps and prepare their own food as a team, unlike other mountains where high-altitude porters help with the work.
