This 1967 ascent of Mt. McKinley resulted in the deaths of seven of the twelve climbers. An interesting study of what can happen when two disparate groups comes together. This was written in responst to Howard Snyder’s account ‘The Hall of the Mountain King’. This is an important addition to the other literature of this expedition written by Howard Snyder, James Tabor, Jeffrey Babcock and Andy Hall. This is the second, of five, books to cover the Wilcox-Snyder story.
