THE GREAT ONE
Denali's remote location, extreme latitude, and sheer size make it a formidable challenge. Climbers face unpredictable weather, including fierce winds and frigid temperatures. The high altitude and technical terrain, with glaciers and crevasses, demand advanced mountaineering skills. Its isolation means self-sufficiency is crucial, adding to the difficulty.
