Early Attempts on Denali

This is The Blue Tarp, stories from Alaska’s Northern Susitna Valley as usually told by those who lived them. Today, most of our stories will not be first-hand, since we are delving into the early history of documented attempts to climb Denali. That said, they form an important chapter in the history of mountaineering and its ties to the area. Whether you’re an oldtimer or a newcomer, there’s room under The Blue Tarp for everyone.
