How to Climb Denali. Strategies and advice from Steve House and Mark Postle

With over 40 Denali summits between them, Uphill Athlete coaches Steve House and Mark Postle know what it takes to climb Denali. In this discussion the pair will focus on climbing Denali via the West Buttress (standard) route, what it is like, sprinkled with plenty of tips on how to do it. Our specialty these days is coaching people to maximize their fitness for big mountains around the world, including Denali. We won't go into the best practices for physical training for Denali, but we will address that topic in-depth in a future talk.
