Denali's Howl

Denali's Howl is a gripping exploration of a harrowing climbing disaster that struck in 1967, when twelve young men attempted to summit Mount McKinley, known as Denali. Journalist Andy Hall, whose father was the park superintendent during the tragedy, delves into the survivors' experiences and the catastrophic "arctic superblizzard" they faced, with extreme winds and life-threatening conditions. Through extensive research, including interviews and archival material, Hall also examines the efforts of those outside the storm trying to rescue the climbers, prompting critical questions about the fate of the expedition and the climbing culture of the time.
