In 1913 Hudson Stuck, Episcopal Archdeacon of the Yukon, led a small party up the Muldrow Glacier and the Northeast Ridge to the summit of Denali. He recounts the preparations and approach, the long haul through the Grand Basin, the struggle with altitude and breathlessness, the final climb and the return, insisting throughout on the mountain’s native name.
