Excerpts

Carefully working their way along the ridge crest, the men noticed a strong breeze coming up the south face. Finally they came to an aluminum pole, sticking out of the ice. A moment passed before they realized the pole marked McKinley’s summit. Davidson, Johnston, and Genet grabbed each other in a three-way hug, shouted, and slapped each other’s shoulders in celebration. They’d made it; the first men to stand on North America’s top in winter.
