By presenting the histories of these three great Alaskan peaks, Waterman provides a must reference for anyone attempting these climbs. In 1954 Fred Beckey was part of the team which made the first ascent of McKinley’s Northwest Buttress, following which he, together with Heinrich Harrer and Henry Mehbohm, knocked off the first ascents of both Mount Deborah and Mount Hunter! With Washburn's great photos showing routes.
